Accountant profile on Websta: what to include in Romania

What to include in your profile

Your Websta profile works as both a listing and a simple website. Start with a clear heading that states what you do - for example, 'Accounting services for small businesses' or 'Personal tax returns and bookkeeping'. People searching the marketplace use these terms to find you.

Write a short description of your work. Mention the types of clients you work with (sole traders, small companies, freelancers) and the main services you offer. Keep it factual and specific to your actual practice.

Add a professional photo of yourself. Clients want to know who they are contacting. A clear headshot or a photo in your office works well.

List the services you provide. Common ones for accountants in Romania include bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll management, quarterly or annual accounting reports, and consulting on business structure. Only list services you actually offer.

Services and booking options on your profile

Websta lets you add services with descriptions. For each service, write what is included - for example, 'Monthly bookkeeping: recording transactions, bank reconciliation, and a monthly summary report' or 'Annual tax return preparation for sole traders'. Clients need to understand what they are paying for.

You can offer quote requests or booking slots. A quote request form is useful for accounting work because each client's needs differ - a sole trader's annual return is different from a small company's quarterly accounts. This lets the client describe their situation and you can reply with an accurate quote.

If you offer regular services with a set scope (like monthly bookkeeping for a fixed fee), you can add those as bookable services with set time slots.

Languages to use on your profile

Publish your profile in Romanian. This is the main language for finding accountants in Romania's marketplace.

If you work with clients from other countries or regions, add English as a second language. Many expats and foreign-owned businesses in Romania search in English. You can add both languages to the same profile.

How people in Romania search for accountants

In the Websta marketplace at /marketplace/finance, people search by service type and location. They will type terms like 'accountant', 'accounting', 'bookkeeping', or 'tax return'. If you work with a specific type of client, they may search for 'accountant for freelancers' or 'accountant for online businesses'.

Location matters. People search by city or region. Make sure your profile shows where you are based. If you work remotely with clients across Romania, mention this in your description.

People also post tasks in the marketplace and ask accountants to make offers. You can respond to these tasks if they match your services.

Working as an independent accountant in Romania

As an independent accountant, you need to register with the tax authority and meet any professional requirements. In Romania, accountants must hold relevant qualifications - check with the Chamber of Accountants (Camera Auditorilor si Contabililor din Romania) for current requirements for your region and the type of work you do.

You will need to register for VAT if your turnover exceeds the threshold. Check with the local tax office (Administatia Finantelor Publice) for the current threshold and requirements for your situation.

Keep records of all invoices and payments. Websta processes payments through Stripe, which sends money to your own bank account. This transaction will appear on your bank statement and you must declare it in your tax filings.

Professional liability insurance is common for accountants. Check if it is required or recommended for your type of practice.

What to write in your first hour

Start by writing your profile heading and main description. Use clear language about what you do and who you work with. This takes 10-15 minutes.

Add your professional photo. It should be recent and clear.

List 3-5 services you offer most often. Write one sentence for each explaining what is included. This takes 20-30 minutes.

Add your contact details and set up how you want to receive inquiries - through quote requests, booking slots, or a contact form.

Write a short note about where you are based and whether you work with remote clients. Add any languages you work in besides Romanian.

Proofread everything before publishing. Clients notice spelling mistakes and unclear wording in professional services.

Photos and visual content

A professional headshot is the main photo clients expect. It should be recent and show you clearly.

A photo of your workspace (if you have one) can build trust, but it is not required.

You do not need stock photos or illustrations. Clients search for accountants in the marketplace /marketplace/finance looking for someone they can contact and trust - a real photo of you works better than generic images.
