About Us

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.

  • We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

  • We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.

  • We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

About the role

The Statutory Reporting & Compliance Manager sits within the accounting function and owns statutory reporting and regulatory compliance for the group's legal entities. You will be responsible for the local accounts of assigned entities and the full calendar of statutory and regulatory deliverables. As we enter new markets, you will assess and stand up the local reporting, registration, and compliance requirements from scratch.

You set the standard for how statutory work is done at Legora — the processes, controls, and documentation — and you are the central point of contact for advisors and local authorities. It is a role for someone who likes structure, deadlines, and being the person who knows exactly what is due, where, and why.

 
What you'll do

Statutory accounts & local books

  • Coordinate preparation of statutory financial statements for assigned legal entities under local legislation and requirements (e.g., UK FRS 102, Swedish K3, German HGB, French PCG)

  • Prepare and file annual reports, supplemental statements, and required exhibits with local authorities

  • Own the completeness and accuracy of local books and accounting records, including statutory adjustments, and keep account balances reconciled and substantiated

Regulatory compliance & market expansion

  • Own the group compliance calendar: statutory deliverables, statistical reporting, and other government filings across all entities

  • Monitor legislative and regulatory changes in our jurisdictions, assess their impact, and implement the accounting process and control changes they require

  • Assess statutory, registration, and reporting requirements for new markets ahead of expansion, and stand up compliant local processes

  • Coordinate with local advisors and consultants on preparation and filing of statutory documents

Controls, audit & documentation

  • Act as the primary contact for local authorities on audits, new legislation, and ad-hoc requests

  • Develop, implement, and monitor internal control policies and procedures appropriate for our stage, and ensure they are consistently followed

 
What we're looking for
  • 7+ years of experience in statutory accounting, audit, or financial reporting, with demonstrated ownership of entity-level statutory deliverables end to end

  • Experience managing statutory compliance across multiple countries, directly or through local advisors

  • Strong knowledge of statutory reporting in at least one of our jurisdictions

  • Track record of working directly with external advisors, and local authorities

  • Experience implementing or improving accounting processes and internal controls

  • Highly organized and deadline-driven — you run a compliance calendar, not the other way around

  • Clear written communication: you can turn a legislative change or technical question into guidance the rest of the team can follow

Nice to have

  • Experience in a multi-entity international group spanning Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific

  • Familiarity with statutory frameworks in several of our jurisdictions (e.g., UK FRS 102, German HGB, French PCG, Italian OIC, Spanish PGC, Indian Companies Act reporting, or Australian requirements)

  • Qualification such as CPA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent

  • Experience standing up statutory compliance in a new market or jurisdiction

  • SaaS/software industry experience

  • Experience using AI tools in finance workflows
