TRUST ONLY THE EXPERTS
If you intend to purchase accounting services, make sure your economic and taxation matters are in the hands of experts. An expert accounting firm can be identified by its membership of the Association of Finnish Accounting Firms. Member companies must fulfil strict membership requirements and meet high professional standards. The Association holds several educational events each year in order to enable its members to keep up-to-date.
WHY USE AN AUTHORISED ACCOUNTING FIRM?
Simply because time is money.
For any company it is more profitable to concentrate on their own core business and leave the figures to the experts. For a small-to-medium-sized company it is even more profitable because keeping accounts yourself proves just too costly. Using an authorised accounting firm guarantees value for money, and the expertise is always there.
It is strongly recommended that the accounting firm and its client enter into a formal written agreement on the scope and price of the services to be supplied. The most common terms of payment are either an hourly rate or a fixed charge per entry. As a client, always request a cost estimate – and keep your costs down by making sure you fulfil your part of the deal.
QUALITY GUARANTEED BY HIGH STANDARDS AND CONTINUOUS EDUCATION
An accounting firm can be accepted as a member of the Association only if it fulfils certain requirements:
-The management has an appropriate commercial education background
-The management is sufficiently engaged in the accounting business to maintain their professional skills
-The management has passed the KLT accounting examination
-The firm has operated for at least two years
-The firm is able to operate independently
-The firm maintains the professional skills of its staff
-The firm follows good accounting practice
-The firm is inspected at the time of its membership application and at regular intervals during membership These measures are designed to guarantee a standard of expertise that will directly benefit the client company. They also enable you to make a quick evaluation of your potential accounting partner. Just check whether the firm is a member of the Association of Finnish Accounting Firms.
PAYROLL SERVICE DEMANDS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY
For an employee it is of high importance that the salary is correct. If the payroll administration not works good, it is also hazardous, because the employees, the tax authorities, the trade union, and the pension company can demand penalty. A professional payroll administration is the base for a good motivation on the place of work.
WHY OUTSOURCE PAYROLL SERVICE?
You need a lot of base knowledge to take care of matters of payroll and vacations, reports to authorities and transferring of data to the main accounting on a correct way. This is a field with continuous alterations, so the payroll accountant has all the time to take part of supplementary education, to have the knowledge up-to-date.
For the entrepreneur it may often be difficult to have time to concentrate at such matters, when it is more important to take care of the business. And if the company has employed a person for payroll matters that person is mostly the only one in the company who knows these things and it may cause problems if he/she quits or is not present because of sickness or vacation.

AVOID OVERLAPPING WORK!
The most unnecessary most small entrepreneurs are doing is to write same information in different systems again and again. They feed purchase invoices in a banking system, perhaps in separate account payable and then the accountant feeds the same information into the main book-keeping system. Of course there can happen mistakes with the many repetitions but more important is that the entrepreneur could have used his time for his business or to have some leisure time.
Let Tili Sydwest take care of the invoicing, following up the payments in the accounts receivable ledger, the reporting and the automatic transferring to the main accounting. Let us also take care of the purchase invoices, the payments. the accounts payable ledger and the automatic transferring to the main accounting. You will see that you will get more time, you will save some data processing costs and you can be sure that everything works even during the vacation period in your company.
All the work moments are integrated in the same system. That means that once produced data in the system van be transferred to the bank and the accounts ledger and the main accounting without any repetitions.
