In a nutshell We're looking for a Senior Tax Accountant who combines sharp technical tax knowledge with a proactive, problem-solving mindset. You aren’t just executing compliance tasks; you’re a strategic thinker who understands how efficient tax processes fuel our international growth. As we build a best-in-class Finance function, you’ll focus on Indirect Tax (VAT) and Tax Reporting, moving away from manual execution to scalable, automated solutions. You take full ownership of tax processes across our international entities, bridging the gap between external advisors and internal teams. You don't wait to be told what to do - you spot opportunities for improvement and just do it. If you're process-oriented and ready to help scale the finance domain of the future, we want you on our team! Tricks of the trade Review & ensure accuracy: Oversee and review international tax filings to guarantee absolute accuracy (you will be overseeing the process, not acting as the pure primary preparer). Process improvement: Drive automation and efficiency within our tax processes to significantly reduce manual work and build future-proof workflows. Strategic scaling: Set up scalable tax processes per country and act as a key financial partner in supporting new market entries and international setups. Knowledge transition: Coordinate closely with external tax advisors while actively transitioning critical tax knowledge from advisory partners to our in-house teams. Cross-functional collaboration: Work seamlessly with our internal FinTech and INT teams, managing non-invoice-based tax impacts and optimizing our team setup. Your superpowers Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, and/or similar field. 3–5 years of relevant experience in tax and tax process automation (preferably with experience at an in-house tax function, or tax advisory) Strong expertise on Indirect Tax (VAT), Tax Reporting , and Strategy, with a proven track record of process improvement and automation. Proactive, ownership-driven, and highly process-oriented. You are a builder who wants to move beyond execution-heavy, pure compliance roles. ERP-system knowledge (Workday is a big plus). Fluency in English, both verbal and written. Picnic perks 🥗Fresh Lunch, coffee, and snacks Our offices are equipped with fully-fledged coffee bars and a kitchen and chefs. They prepare delicious fresh and warm lunches every day so you can keep your energy up. 🚴🏼‍♂️Health insurance discount & bike plan We have a partnership with CZ (a health insurance provider). Picnic employees get a discount on CZ insurance packages between 5% and 15%. Furthermore, through our partnership with Lease a Bike, you can rent-to-own a new (e)bike at a discounted rate 🗺️Relocation If you’re moving from another country to join Picnic we make it as smooth as possible for you. We’ll cover your flight costs for you and your partner and kids, your first month's rent and moving costs (up to €2000), and help you with the 30% tax ruling setup and application. ✍🏼 Learning & development You’ll get ample opportunity to work on yourself at Picnic. We offer personal development through Lepaya courses, Academy trainings, and more. Interested in improving your mental wellbeing? Through OpenUp you get free access to trained psychologists and many courses. All the rest At Picnic you get 25 holidays, we cover your travel expenses and offer a pension plan.

Right now there are 11,726 open accountant positions on WorkMundi. The US leads with 3,242 jobs, followed by India (2,285), Australia (1,359), Philippines (629), and Singapore (441). If you've been thinking your options are limited to one country, look again.

One practical move: search by country first, not just by job title. The accountant role differs in scope, compliance, and day-to-day work depending on where you'd be based. A position in Australia may involve different tax codes, audit standards, and reporting cycles than one in India or the US. Narrowing by location before you read descriptions saves time and helps you spot roles that actually fit your expertise.

When you interview for an accountant role, expect this question: "Walk me through how you'd handle a transaction that doesn't reconcile." Hiring managers ask it because they want to see your troubleshooting method, not just whether you found the error. Practice explaining your logic step-by-step — what you check first, how you document it, and how you escalate if needed. That matters more than the final answer.

WorkMundi offers a free interview rehearsal using your browser voice (no AI, unlimited takes) and a paid AI interview option that listens live and writes your responses as you speak.
