Society

Accountor wants to support businesses to succeed. We also want to support new entrepreneurship and assist entrepreneurs in their very early stage, even before they have a business ID. That is why Accountor collaborates with Enterprise Agencies (Uusyrityskeskus). At present, our collaboration includes Enterprise Agencies in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Tampere.

We also want to help future finance, HR, IT and business talents by working closely with various educational institutions. We offer our assistance in numerous events, courses, internships and trainee programs to provide a practical grasp of the needs of working life.

We support charity organisations

Accountorians take eagerly part in various charity work. At Christmas time, we traditionally show our support via a charity organisation that our employees and customers select by voting.

In the exceptional year 2020, we wanted to support people's wellbeing. Thus we selected to support organisations that work to promote mental health and prevent mental illnesses. Each country that we operate in supports a local organisation.
