I`m sorry - but that is not a job that is rare in The Netherlands. Only if you have a working expirience in a field that we need, getting a work permit is an option. Try to get a job at an international company, and see if they can transfer you to The Netherlands.

It is very unlikely that you would be able to get a work permit for an accountancy postion unless you are in higher level management. I assume you do not speak Dutch and as such you are limited to International companies and they attract applicants from throughout the EU where there is already high levels of unemployement. Having worked in an International company I am very aware that actually turnover in middle and higher level accountancy jobs is very low (compared with other sectors) and so there are not the positions or demand which dictate that employers need to look outside of the EU to fill these positions As an Indian, you will need an employer who is prepared to apply for a work permit on your behalf and this is not an easy prospect. This work permit will not be granted unless it can be proven that the candidate is the only one that can fulfill this position (on the basis of experience or skills) and that non-one else in the total pool of labour in the EEA can do the job instead. This is not easy to prove unless it is a highly specialist position. As a result most online applications now state that any applicants must already hold a permit or status which allows them to work in the country. Of course you can take a look at job sites to get an idea and then maybe contact a couple of the companies if you feel that you suit the position. They will be able to confirm this. e.g. http://www.bluelynx.nl http://www.xpatjobs.com http://jobs.expatica.com/nl

For all you questions regarding immigration and working in The Netherlands you should consult http://www.ind.nl/EN/. Having said that I will give you a short summary of your possible ways of coming to The Netherlands to work. Employee: It is rather difficult to enter The Netherlands as a regular employee. This is because your employer would need to apply for a work permit for you at the Centre of Work and Income (CWI). As stated before the employer will only get the permit when nobody in the Netherlands or in the EU is available to fill the position. He has to prove this. Other conditions are: valid passport, health insurance, no risk to public order, tuberculosis screening, sufficient funds. Self-employed: This is much easier for the obvious reason you will bring work to the country and not only fill a position. Whether your business is eligible or not will be assessed on the basis of a scoring system. Same additional conditions apply as mentioned above. Accountancy is a protected guild as in many countries however. To practice independently you will need Dutch accreditation and a RA (Register Accountant) title (comparable to Certified Public Accountant in the US). It is possible to obtain one by taking an exam, which seems pretty tough at first glance. Please consult these websites: http://www.nivra.nl/NivraSite/English/RA+qualification+for+foreign+accountants and http://www.commissieeindtermen.nl/Commissieeindtermen/Information+in+English/. Highly skilled migrant: If you can find an employer that will pay you roughly 1.5 times the median income in the Netherlands which is €47,565 ($70,357), or €34,881 ($51,595) if you are under 30, you are considered a highly skilled migrant and do not have to obtain a work permit first. There is a shortage of highly skilled workers in the Netherlands (at least before the crisis), so this is very much encouraged. You will notice this because your application will be processed within two weeks (instead of the usual maximum of 6 months) and there will be less administrative costs. Go for this one if you can. You will probably still need to get that RA title if you want to work on the level you are working now though. Orientation year highly educated people: As of january this year there is another arrangement for higher educated people. You can come to The Netherlands, whithout even being employed, for one year if you meet the following requirements: you have a masters degree from one of the top 150 institutions of the Times list or the Jiao Tong Shanghai list, obtained no longer than three years ago. You score at least 35 of 40 points on the scoring system: you get 25 points for having a masters degree, 30 points for having a PhD, 5 points if you are between 21 and 40 years old, and another five points if you have been to The Netherlands before, speak English (IELTS 6) or Dutch (NT2) well or have obtained your degree at an institute that awards degrees on the basis of the Bologna Accord. Within this year you can seek employment on the basis of the highly skilled migrant rules, only with a less rigid salary requirement. You could also start a company within this year, where the same rules for your business apply as for immigrating on a self-employed basis. You probably do not qualify, since you probably obtained your degree more than three years ago. If you plan on staying longer than three months you will always need to apply for a residency permit. You can download the form on the IND website. Let me know if you need any further information.
