We express our full gratitude to Nordic Advisors, which is a part of Konsu, for particular flexibility when it comes to the timeframe agreements and scrupulous and in-depth analysis in concern to the variety of the office activities.
Nordic Advisors has been Information office’s auditor for many years conducting audit at both our offices in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad. The auditors promptly responded to any complex and contentious issues when they arise. The Nordic Advisors recommendations were always useful and relevant, and the audit reports were in compliance with the Russian accounting standards.
The Nordic Advisors not only audited the office, but had also been consulting the Nordic Council of Ministers Information office project managers and advisers, who had questions on proper reporting while meeting with partners and undertaking negotiations with the Nordic and Russian stakeholders on overall project management.
Nordic Advisors had been asked as well to ensure that the accounting was in accordance with the standards of the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the company conclusions and judgements were fully satisfactory for the headquarters. The company had been involved in the control of maintaining accurate and up to date records from the Russian bookkeeping system as well as over the development and run of the Microsoft Business Solutions Navision system in application to the office activities. Assurance of the proper run and use of the various software applications helped the office in fulfilment of the local and international requirements.
Possessing an ability to handle confidential information, Nordic Advisors responsibly performed their work in а sensitive and tactful manner, which was of high importance for both the Information office and project partners.
Given our long-standing positive experience we are pleased to recommend Nordic Advisors and Konsu at large as а true partner capable of providing quality services to companies operating at international level.

Abloy
Abloy
One of the largest suppliers of door opening solutions, has recently become our client, and the transition from their previous accounting provider went so smoothly that their group-level managers did not even notice that they had changed provider.
Matti Heikkilä, General Director, Abloy Russia:
For us it was a bit of a pressure because we have ongoing operation, weekly deliveries from Finland and deliveries somewhere throughout Russia and operation is continuing.
Changing accounting HR & payroll service provider it is always a risk and that how we also considered it. And that’s the reason why we made a very good and thorough planning how to do it so there would be no stops in the processes. That was very-very critical because in our case we are a part of an international group. For us one of the major-major points and things was that our international group reporting would not be delayed because of the transition period.
IFRS reporting standards and deadlines are very strict. In international group where over 250 companies are reporting at the same time to the same base delays are not allowed, there are no excuses whatsoever.
But at the end of the day because of the well-planned transition it worked well.
To be honest if I didn’t tell back at home that we were changing our service provider they wouldn’t have noticed.
Under Armour
Oleg Tsai (CEO of Under Armour in Russia and CIS) spoke about our services in Russia at TaXmas-2020:
“We first started using the accounting services offered by Konsu to handle our reporting and tax issues. Then, as our relationship evolved, the scope of the areas in which we cooperated grew. We listened to all the recommendations that Konsu gave us in 2020, and this helped us get through this tough period of quarantine with fewer losses. We still use their accounting services. Konsu does our tax reporting and represents our interests in tax offices. Given that Konsu is a tax accounting expert, they also help us to adapt the contractual terms with our counterparties when we negotiate contracts, and this allows us to prevent problems with accounting and taxes. Konsu also provided us with HR services, and they completed these tasks brilliantly. Anything that is related to running a company can be assigned to our friends at Konsu, and they will handle everything superbly.”
