What your accountant profile should contain
Your Websta profile works as a business card combined with a contact point. It should include a professional photo of yourself or your office space, your location in Luxembourg (by town), and a clear description of what you offer. Most accountants on the platform list services such as bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll administration, VAT compliance, and advice for self-employed traders and small companies.
Add a photo or two that shows either your workspace or a professional portrait. Clients want to know who they are contacting. Your profile should state which languages you work in - in Luxembourg, this typically means Luxembourgish, French, German and English, though you may choose to offer services in fewer languages depending on your client base.
Websta lets you set up either a contact form for quote requests or an online booking system. For accountancy work, quote requests are more common, since most clients need to discuss their specific situation before committing to a price. You can always direct clients to book a consultation call through the form or to email you directly.
Services to list on your profile
Choose services that match what you actually offer. Common options for accountants in Luxembourg include annual accounts and tax returns for sole traders, limited companies, and partnerships; VAT compliance and filing; payroll processing; bookkeeping and accounting records; and advisory services for business registration or restructuring.
Be specific rather than generic. Instead of 'accounting services', list 'tax return preparation for self-employed' or 'payroll administration for small companies'. This helps the right clients find you when they search. If you specialize in certain business types or industries, mention that too.
How people in Luxembourg search for accountants
People looking for accountants in Luxembourg typically search by service (such as 'tax preparation' or 'bookkeeping') and by town or region. On Websta's marketplace for finance services, people browse by these two criteria. Some search for a specific service first, then filter by location; others search by their town first and then look at who offers what.
Clients often search for words like 'accountant', 'bookkeeper', 'tax advisor' or 'comptable'. Make sure your profile description includes these terms in the languages you work in, so that searches match your services.
Languages to publish in
Luxembourg is multilingual. If you are fluent in multiple languages, publish your profile in all of them - your description, service titles, and contact information should be in each language you use with clients. This expands who can find you.
At minimum, consider French and English alongside Luxembourgish or German, depending on your target clients. Many small business owners and self-employed people in Luxembourg speak several languages, and they will search in the language they are most comfortable using for business matters.
Registering as self-employed in Luxembourg
Before you set up your Websta profile, you need to be registered as a business provider in Luxembourg. As an accountant working independently, you will typically register as a self-employed professional. Check with the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce or the relevant local authority in your town for current registration requirements, as rules may change.
You will need a business registration number (numero de registre du commerce et des societes, or similar) and should clarify your tax obligations, including whether you must register for VAT. Professional liability insurance is also recommended for accountancy work; confirm whether it is legally required in your jurisdiction.
Once registered, you can add your business details to your Websta profile. If your profile is created from the public business register, you can claim it and update it yourself.
What to write in the first hour
Start with the essentials: your name or business name, your town in Luxembourg, and a one or two sentence description of what you do. Example: 'I prepare tax returns and manage accounts for self-employed traders and small companies in Luxembourg' or 'Bookkeeping and payroll administration for businesses across Luxembourg'.
Then list three to five core services that take up most of your work. Add your professional photo and choose the languages you work in. Set up a contact form or quote request so clients can reach you. All of this takes about an hour and gives you a working profile that clients can find.
After that, you can refine your description, add more photos, list additional services, or set up online booking if you offer consultation slots. But the basic profile - name, location, photo, services, and contact method - is enough to start.
Getting paid and payment processing
When a client pays you through Websta, the payment is processed using Stripe and transferred to your own bank account. This means you stay in control of your income and your banking relationship remains direct.
