tiliryhmiin

Tiliryhmiin is a Finnish accounting term referring to the groups or categories into which individual accounts (tilit) are organized in a chart of accounts. The form tiliryhmiin is the plural illative form, used when speaking about the accounts being classified into these groups.

The primary purpose of tiliryhmiin is to simplify reporting and to enable the aggregation of balances by category. By grouping accounts according to their economic nature, financial statements such as the balance sheet (tase) and the income statement (tuloslaskelma) can present summarized figures that reflect assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses more clearly. Tiliryhmiin also facilitate budgeting, internal reporting, and compliance with accounting standards.

In practice, a typical Finnish chart of accounts organizes tiliryhmiin around core classes such as assets, liabilities, and equity on the balance sheet side, and income and expenses on the profit and loss side. Each tiliryhmä contains multiple individual accounts (tilit), for example cash and accounts receivable under assets, loans under liabilities, share capital under equity, and various revenue or expense accounts under their respective groups. The exact tiliryhmiin used can vary by company and by the applicable accounting framework (Finnish GAAP, IFRS for larger groups, etc.).

Related concepts include tililuettelo (chart of accounts), tilit (accounts), and tilinpäätös (financial statements). The term is primarily used in Finnish-language accounting contexts and reflects the structured organization of financial data.
