International Finance & Accountancy Jobs in the Netherlands
The Netherlands boast some of Europe's most picturesque cities. Despite the country's modest geographical size, the Netherlands' economic performance and integration into the international economy are impressive. Over the years, this has opened many job opportunities for international talent within the financial services and commerce and industry sectors.
Almost 20% of the total area of the Netherlands is water, and much of the land has been reclaimed from the North Sea in efforts which date back to medieval times, spawning an extensive system of dykes. It is one of the world's most densely populated nations. Now a constitutional monarchy, the country began its independent life as a republic in the 16th century, when the foundations were laid for it to become one of the world's foremost maritime trading nations.
The high standard of living, excellent infrastructure and stable economy make Holland very attractive to the global workforce. Holland has one of the most extensive and generous social welfare systems in Europe. The crime rate is low and most Dutch people can speak English.
Although the Netherlands is one of the world's smallest countries in geographic terms, it is a highly prosperous country with one of the strongest economies. A highly skilled labour force, a reputation for efficiency and an advanced and sophisticated transport and communications infrastructure have made the Netherlands very attractive to multinational firms and it is home to the headquarters of Philips Electronics, Unilever, Shell, Heineken and ING.
The cost of living in The Netherlands used to be fairly cheap. However, since the introduction of the Euro, prices have gone up dramatically. Holland is an affordable country if you are paid in local currency. As you’d expect, Amsterdam is the most expensive of all the cities in Holland.
The Netherlands has produced many of the world's most famous artists from Rembrandt and Vermeer in the 17th century to Van Gogh in the 19th and Mondrian in the 20th. It attracts visitors from across the globe.
