Accountant | Técnico/a de Contabilidade e Fiscalidade

Lisbon, Portugal - Hybrid Working Model

About You

You know your way around journals, reconciliations and draft tax returns. Now you’re looking for work you can take ownership of and follow through. Here, you’ll use your experience across day-to-day accounting and financial closing, as we build a team with clear responsibility for individual Iberian entities.

The Role

Based in Lisbon, you’ll join the finance team supporting Simplifae’s Iberian businesses within the Hubexo Group. Simplifae’s technology helps organisations manage purchasing and tendering, and suppliers find and compete for contracts. You’ll work with accounting, treasury and controlling colleagues, international teams and external auditors—seeing how your day-to-day work feeds into the business’s financial reporting.

What you’ll do

• Record and validate transactions, including purchase invoices, payroll entries, intercompany transactions and fixed assets.
• Prepare and review journals, including accruals, deferrals and adjustments. Maintain records in line with Portuguese accounting standards and IFRS reporting requirements, following internal controls and accounting procedures.
• Reconcile accounts, investigate differences and resolve discrepancies.
• Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements and contribute to closing activities, meeting agreed reporting deadlines.
• Prepare tax information and draft returns, including VAT, recapitulative VAT and corporate income tax, and support other mandatory submissions and regulatory reporting.
• Prepare audit documentation and work with colleagues, external auditors and service providers to answer queries.
• Help establish consistent accounting processes across Iberian entities, with clear responsibilities, checks and handovers. Identify ways to automate recurring tasks and make better use of our ERP system.

Reporting to our Head of Accounting, Tax & Treasury, you’ll take on day-to-day accounting work as we organise responsibilities around specific entities. The aim is for you to become the main accounting contact for your assigned entities, keeping work on track, following up queries and making sure issues are raised and resolved. Alongside that ownership, we’ll support you in developing greater independence in tax compliance and deeper IFRS knowledge as you work towards a Senior Accounting & Tax Specialist role.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have practical experience in general accounting, audit or a similar finance role, typically gained over two to four years.

You can work through a reconciliation, investigate a difference and explain what you’ve found. You follow tasks through, keep clear records and handovers, and raise issues when something needs attention. You’re organised around closing deadlines and comfortable asking questions when you need to.

• A degree in Accounting, Finance, Management or an equivalent qualification.
• Working knowledge of Portuguese accounting standards (SNC) and experience preparing draft tax returns, with an understanding of VAT, corporate income tax and related obligations.
• Practical experience with accounting records, journals, reconciliations and IFRS reporting.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience using an accounting or ERP system.
• Written and spoken English that allows you to work effectively with international colleagues.
