Freelance accountants and accounting support in Luxembourg
Year-end closing, a colleague on leave, a backlog of entries or a software change: short-term accounting support keeps the finance team on track. Askfreelance connects you, free of charge, with accountants, accounting assistants, tax specialists and payroll specialists.
The most common needs
- Busy periods: monthly and annual closings, returns, stock counts.
- Cover: maternity or parental leave, sick leave, a departure not yet replaced.
- Catching up: late entries, bank reconciliations, matching customer and supplier accounts.
- Projects: moving to new accounting software, e-invoicing, internal procedures.
- Payroll: an extra payroll specialist during a peak or a system change.
A regulated field: check before you start
In Luxembourg, accountant (comptable) and chartered accountant (expert-comptable) are liberal professions that require a business permit, with qualification conditions. In practice:
- a self-employed professional who keeps your company’s books must hold the corresponding permit — ask for its number;
- someone who reinforces your own accounting team, under your direction and on your hours, is more likely to need an employment contract (fixed-term or part-time);
- tasks that the law reserves for certain professions remain with the authorised professionals.

Describing the assignment
State the scope (entries, reconciliations, closing, payroll), the software, the approximate volume of documents, the period, working languages and whether remote work is possible. Also say who supervises the person day to day: this matters when choosing the right contract.
Before you start: what to check
- The framework: a service from an authorised professional, or a salaried reinforcement under your direction? Decide before day one.
- Access: software, bank, shared folder of documents; use personal logins rather than a shared account.
- Work plan: accounts to reconcile, tax and social deadlines, who approves.
- Handover: ask for an end-of-assignment note (work done, open points) so the team can take over smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
Does a self-employed accountant need a permit in Luxembourg?
Yes: Guichet.lu lists accountant and chartered accountant among the liberal professions that require a business permit. Check that the professional holds one before handing over your books.
I need someone in my team for a few weeks: which contract?
If the person works under your authority, in your department and on your schedule, an employment contract (for example a fixed-term contract for a specific, temporary task) is generally the right framework. See our guide Self-employed or employee.
