Toimeksiannonsihteereitä

Toimeksiannonsihteereitä, often translated as "mandate accountants" or "commission accountants," are accounting professionals in Finland who are authorized to provide certain accounting and tax services to clients. They operate under the supervision of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH). These professionals are distinct from authorized auditors (KHT) and public accountants (HT) who have more extensive auditing responsibilities.

The primary role of a toimeksiannonsihteeri is to assist individuals and businesses with their financial administration. This typically includes tasks such as bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, and filing tax returns. They are qualified to handle the accounting needs of smaller companies and private individuals, ensuring compliance with Finnish accounting and tax legislation.

To become a toimeksiannonsihteeri, individuals must meet specific educational and professional experience requirements. They are also required to have professional liability insurance and adhere to a code of professional conduct. The PRH maintains a register of these authorized professionals, allowing clients to verify their credentials. The services provided by toimeksiannonsihteereitä are crucial for many small and medium-sized enterprises in Finland that may not have in-house accounting expertise.
