Job description

Ready to own it, build it, and grow it?

About us:
 We are Publitas! We’re a remote-first, fast-growing SaaS company helping brands turn static content into digital discovery experiences that drive results.
We’re not about busywork, hierarchy, or hand-holding. We hire sharp minds, trust them fully, and measure success by real results, not noise. If you thrive in autonomy, challenge, and high ownership, you’ll love it here.

At Publitas we’re adding a sharp, detail-oriented Finance Assistant to keep our finance engine clean, accurate, and scaling smoothly. You’ll handle core finance ops, keep our records tight, support compliance, and help us move faster with confidence, while continuously improving how we work.

This role is for you if you… 

  • Love remote, async, high-ownership work. 

  • Live in EU time zones (+/- CET) or can work those hours without friction.

  • Get real satisfaction from order, precision, and clean financial records.

  • Spot inconsistencies fast and fix them before they become problems.

  • Enjoy owning operational finance tasks end-to-end and closing loops.

  • Naturally think in systems and love improving workflows as the company scales.

  • Enjoy being the backbone of daily finance ops — accuracy and speed matter to you.

  • Communicate clearly, ask good questions, and move things forward without waiting to be told.

This role is NOT for you if you…

  • Need layers of process or someone to guide you through the steps constantly.

  • Prefer “business as usual” over change.

  • Want a team where average performance is acceptable.

  • Have never worked remotely and think async means “lonely.”

  • Are waiting for permission instead of taking initiative.

Job requirements

  • Own day-to-day data entry and bookkeeping using tools like Odoo and Exact.

  • Support Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable, track what we owe and what’s owed to us, and keep cash flowing.

  • Process, issue, and reconcile invoices with accuracy and speed.

  • Monitor outstanding receivables, send reminders, and follow up on overdue accounts.

  • Keep all records organised, secure, and easily retrievable.

  • Support the month-end close by ensuring all transactions, invoices, and expenses are recorded and reconciled on time.

  • Help prepare P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports and support monthly/quarterly reporting.

  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and planning by providing clean inputs and maintaining reliable tracking.

  • Support VAT and tax compliance (Dutch/EU VAT) by preparing inputs, checks, and documentation.

  • Maintain clear audit trails and assist with internal/external audit preparation.

  • Support payroll processing and benefits admin.

  • Help maintain and improve finance systems, procedures, templates, and process documentation.

  • Collaborate with Sales, CS/CSM, and Ops to resolve billing issues and clarify contract details.

  • Participate in ad-hoc analysis and projects as needed.

  • Handle sensitive financial info with discretion and professionalism.

What you’ll bring to the team:

  • Fluent English (written + spoken).

  • You’re in the EU timezone or happy working CET hours.

  • 1–5 years of experience in finance assistant/accounting support roles.

  • A degree in finance/accounting is preferred.

  • Strong confidence with accounting software (bonus points for Odoo / Exact).

  • Detail is your thing; your work is accurate, consistent, and reliable.

  • Solid Excel / Sheets skills (vlookup, pivot tables, data validation, visualisation).

  • Remote-ready: autonomous, proactive, and comfortable owning your work.

  • Clear communicator who follows through.

  • Dutch fluency is a plus.

What We Provide to Help You Win…

  • Salary: €25,000 - €45,000 per year (gross), depending on your experience level and location.

  • 25 vacation days + your local national holidays

  • A top-tier MacBook and remote-ready gear

  • Monthly wellness budget to invest in your health

  • Co-Working allowance

  • Events, training, or courses that directly and primarily contribute to your work at Publitas

  • Free books on Kindle and Audible

  • Free Publitas Swag (merchandise)

How to Apply…

We don’t ask for CVs or cover letters. Why? Because they rarely tell us who you are or what you’re truly great at.

Instead, we ask thoughtful questions and give you a chance to show us what you’d bring to the role.

No fluff. Just real insight into what it’s like to work together.
