Accountant (iGaming), Malta & Cyprus, middle: €2 700–3 500 per month gross · SpinHire data as of
What the role involves
A gambling group rarely lives in a single entity: the licence sits in Malta or Curaçao, development and marketing in Cyprus, there's an IP company for the IP Box regime and contractors in Georgia. The accountant keeps the books for several companies at once, reconciles balances across bank accounts, PSPs and crypto wallets, runs intra-group settlements and books revenue from game providers and payment providers. On top of that come tax returns, the regulator's gaming tax, IFRS audits and questions from banks that look at iGaming with suspicion. Senior and chief accountants own consolidation and filing deadlines; juniors handle source documents, invoices and payroll.

Market demand: Hiring comes from operators and providers with offices in Malta and Cyprus, corporate service providers working for gambling groups, and holdings with payroll centres in the Baltics. The most sought after are accountants with Cyprus tax and IFRS experience.
