Hire Remote Accountants in Amsterdam

Hiring accountants in Amsterdam is slow and expensive. OSCABE gives EU companies dedicated, fully-managed accountants from India and the Middle East from £1,900 per month, typically around 50% below the local cost of a comparable in-house hire. OSCABE vets, employs, manages and pays each accountant under one UK contract, so you get a dedicated team member without opening an overseas entity.

What does it cost to hire accountants in Amsterdam?

A competitive scale-up market with limited senior supply. The table below compares the indicative local cost of an in-house hire with a dedicated, fully-managed OSCABE professional. Figures are indicative estimates in GBP; OSCABE bills monthly in GBP or EUR.

Seniority	Local in-house (per year)	OSCABE managed	Indicative annual saving
Mid-level	£45,360	£1,900/mo	£22,560
Senior	£66,960	£3,400/mo	£26,160

Local figures are salary only and exclude employer taxes, recruitment fees, equipment and overheads, which typically add 20-40% on top.

Why hire accountants through OSCABE?

Around 50% lower cost

A dedicated OSCABE accountant starts at £1,900 per month, with no recruitment fees and no overseas entity to run.

Start in days, not months

Skip the long Amsterdam hiring cycle. OSCABE shortlists pre-vetted accountants and your chosen hire can start within days.

Compliant and managed

For the Netherlands, OSCABE invoices as a UK B2B service under the VAT reverse charge, and applies UK GDPR-aligned safeguards (SCCs or the UK IDTA, plus transfer risk assessments) for international data. No local entity is required.

Dedicated, not freelance

Your accountant works only for you, in your hours and tools, fully managed by OSCABE. Not a marketplace or a rotating contractor.

What to look for when you hire accountants

Whether you hire locally in Amsterdam or through OSCABE, these are the things that separate a strong accountant from an average one. Our senior specialist interview checks every one before you see a shortlist.

Confirm qualifications and standards

Look for ACCA, CIMA or ICAI-qualified accountants who know UK and IFRS reporting, not just bookkeeping.

Match your finance stack

Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite and Sage differ. We shortlist on your tools and your reporting cadence.

Check controls and confidentiality

Financial data needs least-privilege access and clean segregation of duties, which our security model enforces.
