The story of the company

Marika and Marianja were first co-workers, then good friends, and finally went on to become entrepreneurs together.
Entrepreneurship was a dream for both of us. We operate in the world of statutory requirements and employer obligations and serve, for example, large companies that employ foreign labor in Finland. We interpret difficult statutory requirements into common sense.

Our operations are not tied to a place, so we can provide our services globally. We don’t need a physical office either, we work remotely or at the customer’s premises.

We believe that the need for such a service will increase even more in the future.
