International Services

Smooth landing – with expertise you can trust. We support your international expansion with trusted expertise

Supporting your international expansion with trusted expertise

Expanding into a new country raises new questions. How should the company be registered? How should accounting and payroll be set up? What does local employment legislation require? What about taxation and reporting?

You do not need to navigate all of this on your own or build a separate network of partners in every country.

RAN Group serves its clients locally in Finland, Sweden and Norway. Through HLB, our international network, you also have access to local expertise in more than 155 countries.

At Rantalainen, you have a dedicated contact person who knows your business and coordinates services across countries. We bring together the right local experts and ensure that everything works seamlessly, accurately and on time.

Local expertise across the Nordics and around the world

International business requires local expertise. At the same time, your operations need to work seamlessly across borders.

RAN Group – our Nordic group

RAN Group is one of the largest providers of accounting, payroll and advisory services in the Nordics, with local operations in Finland, Sweden and Norway.

When your company operates in several Nordic countries, our local experts work together to support your business as an integrated team. Your Rantalainen contact person coordinates the collaboration and ensures that information flows smoothly between countries.

HLB – a global network with local expertise

Outside the Nordics, we are supported by HLB, an international network of experts operating in more than 155 countries. HLB ranks among the world’s top 10 global accounting networks and has been recognized several times in recent years as Network of the Year.

Through HLB, you gain access to trusted local experts in new markets. Your dedicated Rantalainen contact person coordinates the collaboration and helps ensure seamless cooperation across countries.

One partner for your international business

Accounting, payroll, HR, taxation and reporting are closely interconnected when your company operates across multiple countries.

That is why we approach them as an integrated solution built around the needs of your business.

One point of contact across borders

You have a dedicated contact person at Rantalainen who knows your business and coordinates the experts and services you need across different countries.

All the services you need from one partner

Through one partnership, you have access to accounting and financial administration, payroll, HR and employment advisory services, tax and reporting services, and other specialist services for international business.

Local expertise wherever you do business

Our local experts understand the requirements, regulations and practices of their respective markets. At the same time, Rantalainen ensures that the overall service works seamlessly across borders.

Reliability in your international operations

Our goal is simple: to ensure that obligations are identified, deadlines are met and everything is handled correctly. We serve our international clients in multiple languages.

Are you establishing a business in Finland?

Establishing operations in a new country involves much more than registering a company. Even before starting operations, it is important to consider how accounting, payroll, HR, taxation and reporting will be organized and which local obligations apply to your business.

We help you build a sound operating model from day one.

Are you expanding from Finland into international markets?

International expansion is a significant step for any business and should be planned well before the first practical decisions are made. Business practices, taxation, employer obligations, reporting requirements and other local regulations in a new market can differ significantly from those in Finland.

Successful expansion requires a solid understanding of the local business environment and regulatory requirements. Company registration, administrative services, banking arrangements, accounting and HR processes all need to be set up correctly from the start. An experienced international expansion partner helps you identify the necessary steps in advance and ensures that the process moves forward in a structured and controlled way.

Rantalainen’s experts support your company throughout the different stages of international expansion, from planning to practical implementation. We combine international experience with local expertise so that your company can focus on growth and opportunities in the new market. Our goal is to make international expansion as smooth, predictable and manageable as possible.

In Sweden and Norway, you have direct access to RAN Group’s own local expertise. In other markets, we work with our international HLB network.

We can assist you with:

Company incorporation and registrations
Setting up local accounting and payroll
HR and employer obligations
VAT compliance and tax matters
Local and group reporting
Systems and integration solutions
Coordination of services across countries

When your business expands into another market, we build on our existing partnership to establish the services you need. Your Rantalainen contact person stays with you as your business moves into the next country.
