Chief Accountant — Accounting & Advisory Firm

We’re helping a well-established accounting & advisory firm grow their senior accounting team. With many years in the market, this firm provides full-cycle audit, accounting, and tax services for international clients. Now they’re looking for a Chief Accountant — someone who can lead client accounting operations, manage a small team, and act as a true strategic partner in business process improvement.

This is not just about checking compliance boxes. You’ll be the person trusted to lead accounting excellence for top-tier international clients — from introducing new systems to owning the quality and integrity of financial data. You’ll manage a team of 3–4 accountants and work closely with both clients and internal departments.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead daily accounting operations for assigned international clients
  • Ensure compliance with Latvian accounting and tax legislation
  • Prepare tax declarations, financial reports, and annual statements
  • Work closely with auditors and external partners
  • Support clients in choosing and implementing accounting systems
  • Act as the main accounting point of contact for clients — not just support, but an embedded team member
  • Lead and mentor a team of 3–4 accounting professionals

What You Bring

  • 3+ years of experience as a Chief Accountant or Accounting Team Lead
  • Higher education in finance, accounting, or related field
  • Deep understanding of Latvian accounting standards and tax laws
  • Strong Excel and MS Office skills
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills
  • Fluent Latvian; good command of English and Russian preferred
  • High sense of ownership and precision
  • Collaborative mindset and readiness to be hands-on when needed

Why Join?

  • Join a highly professional, people-first team that’s redefining outsourced accounting in Latvia
  • Stable and respected company with international clients and cross-border projects
  • Take part in projects that go beyond bookkeeping — think system implementation, advisory, and team leadership
  • Clear structure, smart colleagues, and strong internal support
  • Health insurance
