Hire Remote Accountants in Dublin
Hiring accountants in Dublin 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 48% 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.

Why hire accountants through OSCABE?
Around 48% 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 Dublin hiring cycle. OSCABE shortlists pre-vetted accountants and your chosen hire can start within days.
Compliant and managed
For Ireland, 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.
Skills our accountants bring
ICAI-qualified accountants for FP&A, AR/AP and bookkeeping. Every OSCABE accountant passes a five-step vetting process before they reach your shortlist.
What to look for when you hire accountants
Whether you hire locally in Dublin 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.
