Hospitable.com is a remote-only and fully distributed company. We hire based on timezones, not countries.

Our Finance team is anything but traditional. We’ve built an automated, connected accounting ecosystem that takes the boring out of bookkeeping. If you love numbers, automation, and big challenges, you’ll have tons of room to grow while our automated systems handle the repetitive stuff.

What you will be working on

As an Accountant, you will play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the financial health of our company. You will be owning our reconciliations, AP processes, and ensuring VAT compliance while contributing to broader US and EU accounting operations in the business.

To accomplish this, you will:

• Support the accounting function by performing balance sheet reconciliations for various business entities.
• Manage accounts payables efficiently, ensuring timely payments.
• Ensure compliance with Belgian VAT regulations.
• Assist in the preparation and submission of required tax filings and regulatory compliance documents.
• Provide support during audits by preparing necessary documentation and responding to inquiries—reporting to our Group Financial Controller, Euroby, whose favorite fruit is dragon fruit.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to provide financial insights and support operational efficiency.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives to enhance productivity and streamline accounting processes.

Requirements

The ideal fit for this role would be based in a European time zone.

What we are looking for:

• 2+ years of experience in technical accounting, preferably with experience in an international accounting firm.
• Proficiency in accounting software and tools (familiarity with NetSuite is required).
• Strong background in Belgian accounting and expertise in VAT.
• Exposure to US and EU accounting practices.
• Attention to detail with strong analytical skills and the ability to work under tight deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey financial information clearly.
• A self-starter with a proactive attitude towards problem-solving and a willingness to learn.

• Bonus points if you have experience in the SaaS industry.

Benefits

The company itself is also a product, one that we iterate on. We're always improving and creating an environment where we all love to work.

• A supportive, radically transparent, and caring team environment, where you are trusted, not managed—and a culture that is focused on results and output.
• The total cost of employment for this role is between USD $78,300 to USD $113,000 depending on your level and the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors—or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation.
• We also offer options into the company equity through our $HOST token (RSU's) to share in the long-term upside value of the company.
• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.
• Complimentary mental health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack by Spill.
• Earn virtual coins through our peer recognition platform and redeem them through gift cards, donations, or monetary rewards.
• Recognized on Inc.’s list of Best Workplaces for 2023.
