Remote Accountant for Dutch Firm (English, EUR salary)

About us

We are a Dutch administration and tax advising firm based in the Netherlands. Our client portfolio ranges from small business up and until big companies with multiple entities. We excel in giving tax advice to our clients which doesn’t only reduce their tax obligations, but also gives them economic optimisations that they would’ve otherwise missed out on. We do this by doing all quarterly VAT returns and annual tax returns. Before we can give the advice, it is key that the administration is up to date and processed correctly in our bookkeeping software. This is the part where you come in!

What you'll do

You will process our clients' financial administration in the bookkeeping software Yuki. Your day to day work consists of:

• Booking purchase and sales invoices into the correct ledger accounts;
• Matching and reconciling bank transactions with the corresponding documents;
• Flagging documents that are incomplete, unclear, or don't add up;
• Keeping the administration current and audit-ready;

As you grow into the role:

• In the long run you will prepare the quarterly VAT returns for our clients. The goal is that you will start preparing the annual tax returns as well;
• Gather and lead your own team of Portuguese coworkers.

Who we're looking for

• An accountant or an experienced bookkeeper with a strong grasp of accounting fundamentals;
• Genuinely accurate. This work rewards precision over speed;
• Interested in automation. The software you will be working in offers a way to automatize recurring invoices. Again this rewards precision over speed;
• Fluent in English, in writing and in conversation;
• Discreet and trustworthy. You will be working with confidential financial data belonging to real businesses. We need people who treat that with the seriousness it deserves;
• Able to work independently from home, with a reliable availability to be contacted on during weekdays;
• Available for at least 20 hours per week;

What we offer

• €1500,00 - €2000,00 paid in euros monthly. Based on 40 hours a week as a freelancer. The range of salary stated above can be multiplied depending on your own learning curve, as is stated in the ‘as you grow into the role’ section. Becoming an employee in payroll is a discussable option as well;
• Real flexibility. Anywhere between 20-40 hours a week. We want the work done at the end of the week and only ask to be available during specific hours which we can agree on together;
• A path to something bigger. As we want to grow our team in Portugal, we intend to appoint a local team lead from within. Someone who manages and trains the colleagues who come after them;
• Direct contact with your colleagues in the Netherlands. We will start the cooperation remote and will also visit Portugal to set everything up correctly.

How the application process works

1. Apply. Send us your CV and a letter of motivation why you would be the best fit.

2. Online introductory meeting if we want to proceed with your application. During the meeting we will explain how your day to day will look like and how the onboarding process will proceed from the moment we decide that we will work together.

3. Practical assessment. This is the core of our hiring process.

You receive access to a demo environment in Yuki with fictional documents. You get written instructions in English explaining how the system works and exactly what we'd like you to do. Then you book a set of documents on the correct general ledger account.

It takes between 1-4 hours, depending on how quickly you work. There's no clock running and no time pressure; work at the pace that lets you be accurate.

We do it this way because a CV can't tell either of us what we need to know. When you finish, you'll know whether this kind of work suits you, whether the software feels workable and whether you'd want to do it week after week. And we'll know whether your work meets the standard our clients need. Both of us find out before either of us commits, which we think is fairer than finding out in a month or two.
