Senior Assistant International - Amsterdam

Introduction

Are you ready to support international companies entering the Dutch and European market and guide Dutch companies in their international growth? At De Hooge Waerder this opportunity is within reach. Are you a Senior Assistant Accountant who gets energy from international matters? Then this is your next challenge. Discover the role and apply today.

Who are we ?

De Hooge Waerder is a full-service accountancy and advisory firm with more than 40 years of experience. From our offices in Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Beverwijk, Haarlem and Heerhugowaard, over 210 colleagues work for a diverse client portfolio, ranging from SMEs to large and international organisations.

At the same time, we are not a standard accounting firm. With us you will find hardly any hierarchy, but short lines of communication, lots of freedom and direct contact with partners. We believe in quality over quantity and we pay real attention to who you are and where you want to go.

International companies and expats can turn to us for all their questions. We are energised by the trust our clients place in us and by the expertise with which we unburden and advise them.

From 1 January 2025 De Hooge Waerder in Amsterdam is affiliated with a prestigious network of independent accounting firms, where we work closely together and thus stand strong for our clients. When you work for our international division, you will do so from Amsterdam, where we operate under the name Nexia DHW.

What will you do ?

As Senior Assistant International you play a crucial role for international companies and their ambitions in the Netherlands and Europe.

This role is not only about numbers; you give meaning to what lies behind the figures. You work on the (annual) figures, prepare financial statements and overviews in English, prepare monthly reports for foreign parent companies and support clients with their obligations in the Netherlands.

Our international clients regularly face complex tax and financial regulations, such as international tax treaties, reporting standards and legislation. You are their eyes and ears and you involve colleagues and specialists where necessary to provide the right answers. You maintain active contact with clients, visit them in the Netherlands and sometimes abroad, and build long term relationships.

At De Hooge Waerder we value diversity, cultural sensitivity and an international mindset.

There you will work in a diverse and close-knit team with short lines of communication, in which everyone switches easily and knows how to find each other quickly.
