Descrição da oferta de emprego

Job Title: Accounting Associate, AI-Enabled Practice

Location: Remote, Portugal

Type: Full-Time Internship (with direct conversion to work contract)

Experience Level: Junior

You recently graduated in accounting, and the headlines are probably telling you that artificial intelligence is coming for your job. We completely disagree. At BRIDGE IN, we believe in a powerful binomial relationship between human expertise and advanced technology. Your degree is incredibly valuable. We will pair your foundational knowledge with intelligent agents and automation to eliminate repetitive data entry. Your biggest impact over your first six months will be helping us transition to an increasingly technology-driven accounting delivery model. You will get your hands dirty with real numbers, skip the basic administrative grind, and learn how to do actual financial analysis much faster than you would in a traditional corporate firm.

Why BRIDGE IN? 🌍

We exist to eliminate the burden of bureaucracy for companies expanding into Southern Europe. By leveraging technology and operational excellence, we empower global organizations to build distributed teams without the administrative friction. We have helped companies from 35+ countries land and operate in Southern Europe, attracted over €120M in Foreign Direct Investment to Portugal, and have been recognized as one of Europe's fastest-growing startups.

You will be stepping into a fast-moving, profitable startup environment where high agency is expected and rewarded. We care about intense focus and concrete outcomes rather than arbitrary office hours or artificial stress.

What You Will Be Building 🚀

• Maintain daily accounting records for both BRIDGE IN and our international customers
• Prepare monthly reporting for consolidation across multinational entities alongside VAT and annual corporate tax filings
• Analyze financial trends and inconsistencies to present clear findings to the team
• Collaborate directly with Tax Authorities to ensure compliance and resolve inquiries
• Assist with financial forecasts to identify growth areas and support customer queries relating to accounting and taxes
• Ensure complete compliance with local accounting standards while maintaining stakeholder trust and strict confidentiality

What You Bring to the Table 💡

• You must be eligible for the IEFP +Talento program in Portugal (you are a recent graduate or currently registered as unemployed)
• You hold a degree in accounting or finance and are ready to apply that knowledge in a high-velocity learning environment
• You have an active OCC certification or are eager and willing to apply for one
• You speak and write with full professional fluency in both Portuguese and English
• You view artificial intelligence as a powerful accelerator to make your daily work easier, rather than a threat to your career
• You possess a high degree of agency and thrive in a remote setting where you are trusted to manage your own focus
• You communicate clearly and can translate complex financial regulations into straightforward insights for customers

What We Offer

• A direct path to a full-time work contract after a successful 6-month internship. This is the intention, not a maybe
• A fully remote setup within Portugal, giving you the freedom to design your optimal work environment
• A steep learning curve where you will own actual projects and touch every part of the accounting cycle
• Exposure to modern tech stacks and AI agents that will dramatically accelerate your professional development
• A culture of radical transparency and peer collaboration without toxic corporate politics
• Stability inside a bootstrapped and profitable company that values sustainable growth over venture capital hype

How to Apply

We don’t do corporate black holes. This is a real open role and not a ghost job to harvest resumes. Here is the general roadmap: start with a quick application form. If we are aligned, we will send over a self‑evaluation survey followed by direct human interviews and a hands‑on challenge so you can show, not just tell, what you can do. We’re a startup, so the exact steps might iterate, but we guarantee three things: we try to move fast, we are radically transparent, and we will never waste your time.
