Contact usWe support and build Finnish success stories
Our advisory related to domestic business is built around an understanding of taxation and legal matters as well as our extensive know-how that we can offer for the daily life of growth companies, SMEs and groups of companies. The questions and challenges our clients face are commonly related to Finnish tax legislation, day-to-day legal matters, such as commercial contracts, corporate law and employment, value-added taxation, remuneration and corporate taxation. We can help you with these topics in terms of planning, modelling, commenting and implementation.
Our task is to maintain the momentum and continuity of the business of our clients by solving challenges related to taxation and law, long before they turn into problems.
Supporting you throughout all the stages of domestic business
Companies operating in Finland will commonly require expertise in taxes and law as a result of requests from financial administration, the company’s management or shareholders, for example. Needs may also often arise as a result of letters received from the authorities or demands from clients. We advise our clients on all practical matters throughout the different lifecycle stages.
01
Early stages of business
Early-stage obligations related to taxation and law start from the moment when the company is established. Questions will arise when hiring competent personnel and ensuring their commitment to the company or, for example, when planning and implementing a purposeful business structure, registering for value-added taxation and making VAT filings.

Agreements related to business, work, shareholder rights and collaboration receive special attention during the early stages of business activity. They do their part to ensure business continuity and offer legal protection to all the parties involved. Assessing the cash impacts of taxation and optimising taxes lay the foundation for profitable success.
For the benefit of our clients, our extensive expertise in taxes is supplemented by our skilled legal advisers. This collaboration allows for providing comprehensive business support and several perspectives to any matter. For entrepreneurs who are also owners in their company, this means that the benefits of the company and its owners are considered in a comprehensive manner.
02
The growth stages of a business
In companies that are in the growth stage, the topical questions often involve agreements, personnel and the planning and optimization of taxes. Over the years, we have seen – and resolved – numerous matters that were missed during rapid growth. This gives you access to experienced and multi-talented people who can resolve situations as they occur and, above all, can anticipate and prevent them from ever occurring.

Personnel changes commonly introduce questions related to agreements, such as their interpretation and updates. You can – and should – also optimise taxes when closing the books, when you still have the opportunity to influence them. Continuous and independent advice guarantees practical support and ensures business continuity.
Once you achieve a flow state in business, you never want to give it up. This is why we will do everything we can to prevent the challenges which are posed by legislation and taxation from stopping you.
03
Stabilizing and boosting business
When working with established companies, we prepare for tax audits and maintain our knowledge of all the changes in tax law. We go through contracts and company law, ensuring that the desired goals are met and conflicts are avoided. We respond to requests for clarification from the Tax Administration, file applications for advance rulings and settle tax disputes.

Internal tax audits are commonly needed when concluding business acquisitions, as startups prepare for financing rounds and when matters are arranged internally as part of the sustainability and transparency of tax arrangements.
A comprehensive understanding of business is the supporting force in everything we do. Understanding means that we consider your matters comprehensively, allowing you to focus on what is important. Doing the right things in good time offers tax savings and allows your business to benefit from changes in legislation, for example. We make sure that the right people in your company know the right things and can act accordingly in their everyday work.
04
Significant changes to business
Changes in business can be challenging, as they are not always internally driven. In Finnish companies, changes often involve employee resignations, co-determination/change negotiations, renegotiation of agreements, financing negotiations and changes to terms of agreement. Cash management and discontinuation of functions may cause changes to the company’s taxation and also require statutory actions.
Show more
We act as an independent party during negotiations, draw up instructions and approaches for companies for different types of changes, and model and calculate the impacts of discontinuing specific functions. You will always have access to our practical know-how and experience to support the stabilization and facilitation of your business. We are accustomed to handling the statutory requirements, which means that you can focus on what is important for your business.
