Bookkeeping

A ledger that is right the first time

Most year-end surprises are bookkeeping problems that were visible in March. We close monthly, reconcile monthly, and tell you about a problem in the month it appears.

The monthly cycle

Documents in

Purchase invoices, sales invoices and bank material arrive through your existing channel — e-invoicing, a scanning service or a shared folder. We do not force a migration in month one.

Ledger and reconciliation

Entries posted to a chart of accounts that matches how you actually run the business, bank and ledger reconciled monthly, and accruals recognised in the period they belong to rather than when the invoice arrives.

Monthly reporting

A management pack with profit and loss, balance sheet, cash position and the two or three variances that actually need a decision — not a forty-page export nobody reads.

Period close and statements

Statutory financial statements and notes under Finnish FAS, an IFRS reporting package where a parent consolidates under IFRS, and registration with the Trade Register within the eight-month deadline.

Audit support

We prepare the audit file. Your auditor performs the audit.

Under the Tilintarkastuslaki 1141/2015 (Finnish Auditing Act), the party that keeps the accounts cannot issue the audit opinion on those same accounts. Bokföringsbyrå Lundström Ab is not an audit firm, holds no KHT, HT or JHT authorisation, and does not perform statutory audits. Those are protected titles in Finland and we do not use them about ourselves.

What we do is make the audit uneventful: a reconciled file with supporting schedules, prompt answers to the auditor’s requests, prior-year findings actually remediated, and an honest assessment of whether your company crosses the statutory thresholds in the first place.

Common questions

Which accounting standard do you report under?

Statutory financial statements are prepared under Finnish accounting standards (FAS) as required by the Finnish Accounting Act 1336/1997. Where a parent company consolidates under IFRS we prepare an IFRS reporting package alongside the statutory FAS accounts, with the differences reconciled and documented.

When must financial statements be filed in Finland?

A Finnish limited company must have its financial statements registered with the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office within eight months of the end of the financial period.

Can you take over mid-period?

Yes. We start with a review of the opening balances and the ledger to date, agree in writing what has been reconciled and what has not, and take over from an agreed date. Nothing is assumed to be correct simply because it was already booked.
