Introduction
Accounting (kirjanpito) is the backbone of every successful business in Finland. Whether you operate a startup, SME, or an established osakeyhtiö (Oy), proper bookkeeping is essential for compliance, strategic planning, and growth. Finko Consulting provides expert guidance on all aspects of accounting, helping businesses focus on operations while staying compliant with the Finnish Accounting Act (Kirjanpitolaki).
What is Accounting in Finland (Kirjanpito)?
Accounting in Finland (kirjanpito) is the process of recording financial transactions, preparing financial statements, and maintaining accurate records. Compliance with Finnish GAAP (hyvä kirjanpitotapa) ensures transparency and accountability.
Key requirements include:
- Continuous bookkeeping (kaikki liiketapahtumat)
- Retaining records for at least six years (kirjanpitokirjat ja tositteet)
- Annual financial statements (tilinpäätös)
- Following Finnish GAAP (hyvä kirjanpitotapa)
Digital Accounting in Finland
Most businesses use digital accounting software. Electronic records are accepted by authorities but must remain auditable. Modern software tracks invoices, payroll, and VAT (ALV) while reducing errors and improving efficiency.
