Certain of your impact today. Free to build tomorrow.
At EY, you can be certain that you are making a difference: for your client, society, your colleagues, and your own development. At the same time, you get the freedom to work in a way that fits your life. Whether you choose specialization, broadening your horizons, or leadership: you are in control. Together with ambitious colleagues in an open and trusting culture, you strive for the highest possible results every day. Big on possibilities, friendly in collaboration. EY provides the resources you need to further shape your career and make an impact within your field.

Are you ready for a dynamic role within People Advisory Services (PAS) Local Mobility, where you will apply your tax and social security knowledge for (inter)national clients? As a consultant, you will work in an enthusiastic and diverse team specializing in a wide range of payroll tax issues. You will get plenty of opportunities to develop your professional expertise in a practice where practical learning is central. You will actively participate in client meetings and consultations with the Tax Authorities, giving you direct impact. Furthermore, you will work with cutting-edge tooling and AI to optimize processes and identify opportunities. No two days are the same: you advise large multinationals, government institutions, and financial sector organizations on various topics and play a crucial role in complex M&A processes.

Your activities are divided into three important pillars:

1. Regular payroll tax advice and social security
   You advise on all tax aspects surrounding the working population: from checking employment contracts and dismissal advice to assessing share plans and the flexible benefits scheme (WKR). You also advise on the DBA Act and support payroll audits. You maintain fixed client relationships and provide presentations and courses to keep them up to date.
2. M&A Due Diligence
   Together with the ITTS team, you are responsible for the payroll tax aspects within mergers and acquisitions. This is an important and challenging part of your work, in which you collaborate closely with various stakeholders to identify and manage risks. You contribute to the success of complex transactions by applying your specialist knowledge.
3. Support for annual account audits and the Senior Executive Pay Act (WNT)
   You work closely with the audit team to check payroll tax components of the annual accounts. In this role, you investigate, among other things, whether organizations comply with the Senior Executive Pay Act and conduct discussions with finance departments to identify potential risks. Additionally, you review payslips and perform cost investigations.

Your team

You will join our People Advisory Services Local Mobility practice, the market leader in the Netherlands in the field of tax advisory. Our team helps clients manage their tax position and comply with laws, regulations, and reporting obligations. The team consists of a good mix of eager-to-learn starters and experienced professionals. They not only bring out the best in themselves but also stimulate and support each other through training and guidance. You will work from a location to be determined, where flexible working, for example from home or from another office, is well possible.

At EY, you will work from one of our offices spread throughout the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven, and Arnhem. Our offices offer a professional and inspiring working environment where collaboration, development, and connection are central. Depending on the role and your place of residence, we will look together at the location that fits best, whereby hybrid working is, of course, an option.

• A completed university degree (WO), preferably in Tax Law or Tax Economics, is a plus but not a requirement.
• Preferably experience within payroll tax practice.
• Willingness to follow the three-year training of the Dutch Association of Tax Advisers (NOB), or having already started this.
• Excellent command of both the Dutch and English languages.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills, combined with a proactive and accurate working attitude.
• A positive attitude, a sense of humor, and valuing a pleasant and sociable working environment.

• A suitable salary for your role and responsibility, depending on experience and qualifications. Plus, a good pension. Good for the future. In addition to your salary, you will also receive holiday allowance and an annual bonus (depending on results and development).
• A laptop and phone that you may also use privately and a monthly internet allowance.
• 29 vacation days, to recharge and refuel + the possibility to buy more days.
• With the mobility budget, you decide for yourself how you travel; for example, choose a lease car, an advantageous public transport subscription, or arrange your transport easily via our app.
• At EY, we believe a healthy work-life balance is important. Hybrid working makes this much easier. Whether you work at the office, at client sites, or at home; we ensure that you receive a well-equipped home working space.
• The possibility to work from abroad for 20 working days per year.
• The possibility to exchange 3 national holidays for non-national holidays.
• You will receive all the space to grow, both personally and professionally. Whether you want to develop in your profession, as a person, or in your leadership style, we have an extensive range of training and education.
• Your health comes first. We believe that when you feel good, you also perform better. For instance, you will receive access to the wellbeing platform OpenUp (and also your family). Here, you can easily have a conversation with psychologists and lifestyle experts within 36 hours, and you can participate in sessions in the field of wellbeing.
• Much attention is paid to teaming and various internal networks with which you can participate in all kinds of social activities. After all, a pleasant working atmosphere and good cooperation with colleagues also contribute to your happiness at work.
• And all within an environment where our core values of integrity, inclusivity, and respect are central. We believe it is important that you can be yourself and that you can fully develop into the best version of yourself. Curious about all our terms and conditions? Click here
