Senior Associate I Accounting (Dutch engagements)

Are you a detail-oriented accounting professional with the experience and ability to independently manage financial administration, as well as prepare annual financial statements? Would you like to work in an international environment, collaborating with Dutch accounting professionals on Dutch client engagements? If so, this opportunity may be the perfect fit for you.

At Visser & Visser, teamwork, connection and professionalism go hand in hand. As Senior Associate, you help ensure that our people remain engaged, informed and aligned — while delivering consistent and accurate accounting work.

As a Senior Associate I Accounting, from our beautiful office in Stellenbosch (South Africa), you will support the accounting practice by processing financial administrations and performing compilations of the annual financial statements for various Dutch entities. You will work closely with colleagues in South Africa and the Netherlands within a structured planning, review, and quality control environment.

This role focuses on three core areas:

• Accounting administration
  • Processing and maintaining clients’ financial records
  • Preparing and reviewing accounting entries and general ledger transactions
  • Performing of balance sheet and profit & loss reconciliations
  • Ensuring accurate, complete, and up-to-date financial administration

• Support in the compilation of the annual financial statement based on Dutch GAAP
  • Assisting with preparatory work for the annual financial statements
  • Preparing working papers, schedules, and supporting specifications
  • Performing annual financial statement preparation procedures
  • Delivering well-structured, review-ready files for senior colleagues

• Collaboration and communication
  • Communicating professionally with colleagues and, where required, clients
  • Requesting information in a timely manner
  • Identifying and escalating discrepancies, inconsistencies, or uncertainties
  • Working in accordance with agreed timelines, checklists, and quality standards

We are not looking for a consultant or manager. We are looking for a dependable accounting professional who can independently prepare financial administrations and compilations for the annual financial statements.

You take ownership of your work, ensure that compilation and administrative files are complete, logically structured, and ready for review enabling managers to perform efficient and effective reviews with minimal follow up and corrections required.

If you are passionate about accuracy, quality, and professional growth within an international accountancy environment, we would like to hear from you.
