• Managing multiple year-end files simultaneously in a structured, deadline-driven environment
• Delivering accurate, well-documented, review-ready files

• CPA-K (advanced/qualified)
• Minimum 4 years of audit experience in public practice (Big 4 or top-tier preferred)
• Strong understanding of the full accounting cycle and financial reporting (IFRS)
• Experience with year-end files, audit execution, and working paper documentation
• Ability to work independently with high productivity and accuracy

What We Offer

• USD 1,200 – 1,700 per month (based on experience and performance)
• Exposure to Dutch accounting firms and international clients
