1Office helped me to establish a Finnish company Propalokatko OY – considering the intricate laws and regulations in Finland, 1Office had no trouble overcoming obstacles along the formation process and setting up a full accountancy system for the company itself. Since 1Office provides me with everything I need to manage my business, I plan to share my extensive knowledge of Nordic work ethics and constructional know-how within the largest development in Estonia – the Liivalaia kvartal.

Priit Vaher

CEO – Propalokatko OY
With 1Office I am finally getting replies to my emails and I can trust the accounts to be correct and accurate. I had a long talk with Tōnis from 1Office about the switch and he deserves a trophy for patience. I did finally make the switch and it has been really good ever since. 1Office took care of all the transfers and took on the mammothian task of correcting the accounts butchered by the previous accountants.
