Seeing the Aallon logo in Kärsämäki always brings a smile to my face, but on the other hand, a wide service network is, in my opinion, a definite advantage.
Finland is full of small businesses that appreciate being able to employ people in their own area. Additionally, there is still a generation that enjoys meeting and chatting with partners at least occasionally.
Buying a 100k€ kiosk from Kuusamo can bring Aallon into the city’s(!) streetscape, where the next entrepreneur will then choose this accounting firm.
As a customer, when making the choice (we transferred the accounting for three kiosks to Aallon), I found that the sales process went smoothly, the service selection was broad, and the price was competitive.
Furthermore, Aallon can sell services to Kärsämäki or Kuusamo, even if the previous entrepreneur / company could no longer take on more clients. Aallon can check the accountants’ worklist & expertise and present the client with an expert specifically for their field.
There are also significant differences in accounting if, for example, the firm lacks expertise regarding EU subsidies or similar matters. A larger one is more likely to have it.
I am keenly awaiting whether Aallon can build more integrations into Portti for various enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which would certainly make winning new clients easier.
