The posting

Accountant / Tax Compliance Specialist

Location: Lisbon, Portugal (hybrid)

Employment: Full-time

About Centry

Centry is a wealth engineering company helping globally mobile founders, investors and families make better decisions about their tax, investments, structures and long-term wealth.

We bring together senior tax expertise, wealth management, structuring, technology and human judgement. Our clients often have multiple countries, companies, investments, banks, legal structures and advisers. Excellent advice only creates value when it is coordinated and executed well.

The role

We are looking for a Certified Portuguese Accountant (Contabilista Certificado) who can take ownership of Portuguese tax compliance for internationally exposed founders, investors and high-net-worth families.

You will join our Lisbon team as a Wealth Compliance Engineer, combining complex tax return preparation, cross-border income analysis and direct client responsibility with the design of better compliance processes.

You will work closely with our tax lawyers, founders and Wealth Engineers to translate the wider wealth strategy into accurate Portuguese reporting. You will have direct client exposure and the responsibility to anticipate compliance issues, explain what they mean and move the work forward.

The goal is clear: deliver precise, proactive Portuguese tax compliance and build repeatable systems that make that work more efficient.

What you will own

Client responsibility and Portuguese tax compliance

  • Prepare and submit Portuguese IRS personal income tax returns.
  • Analyse complex income streams, including dividends, foreign salary, capital gains, crypto and real estate.
  • Advise clients on Portuguese residency, reporting obligations and compliance exposure.
  • Act as the point of contact with the Autoridade Tributária (AT).

Cross-border coordination

  • Coordinate with our tax lawyers on structuring strategies.
  • Translate legal structuring into compliant reporting.
  • Anticipate tax friction before it becomes a problem.
  • Work with globally diversified portfolios.

Compliance systems and automation

  • Build repeatable compliance systems.
  • Improve internal processes using AI and automation.
  • Develop checklists, templates and workflows.
  • Help Centry deliver tax compliance faster and more proactively.

The person we are looking for

You bring technical precision, commercial judgement and the confidence to take responsibility for complex client work. You are comfortable discussing Portuguese tax matters directly with demanding high-net-worth clients and managing your work independently.

Required qualifications and experience

  • Registered Contabilista Certificado with the OCC.
  • An active certification number.
  • Legal authorisation to sign and submit Portuguese tax returns.
  • Strong Portuguese and English.
  • 3+ years of Portuguese tax compliance experience.

How you work

  • You have handled complex Portuguese IRS cases independently and understand foreign income reporting.
  • You are comfortable speaking directly with clients and think commercially as well as technically.
  • You take ownership and move work forward without constant supervision.
  • You are comfortable in a startup environment and curious about technology and AI tools.
  • You see compliance in the context of the client’s wider wealth strategy and actively improve the processes behind it.

This role centres on complex tax compliance, cross-border work, direct client relationships and process improvement. It extends beyond routine bookkeeping.

What success looks like

  • Portuguese IRS returns accurately reflect clients’ complex domestic and foreign income.
  • Clients understand their Portuguese residency, reporting obligations and compliance exposure.
  • Tax lawyers’ structuring strategies are translated into compliant reporting, with potential friction identified early.
  • Communication with clients and the Autoridade Tributária is clear and professional.
  • Checklists, templates, workflows and automation make compliance delivery more repeatable, efficient and proactive.

Why Centry

You will work directly with internationally mobile founders and families on matters that span borders, alongside lawyers, founders and Wealth Engineers. You will have real ownership of client work and a meaningful role in building a technology-enabled wealth platform.

You will help shape how Centry delivers wealth compliance, with a fast-track path towards Head of Wealth Compliance.

Compensation

€35,000 – €55,000+ depending on profile and experience.

Performance incentives are tied to client portfolio responsibility, efficiency improvements and revenue contribution. Compensation reflects capability and contribution.
