Responsible business model, financial management, supply chain
We provide Compliance and Advisory services for the subcontracting network of large industrial projects as well as for public sector projects on a full service basis. All of Econia’s advisory and consultancy services as well as extensive financial management services are available to subcontractors.
Towards transparent and compliant subcontracting chain
The Act on the Contractor’s Obligations and Liability in Finland requires the principal contractor to ensure that suppliers and subcontractors fulfill their statutory obligations as both contractual partners and employers. For a company, conducting and managing this verification can be extremely challenging without external assistance. We are well-versed in the Act on the Contractor’s Obligations and Liability, collective agreements, and regulatory requirements. We help our clients utilize external labor risk-free and manage the subcontracting chain throughout the entire process.
Econia's proactive approach to tackling the grey economy is based on our extensive expertise and excellent stakeholder relations, and has been built up over 20 years of practical work.
Grey Economy Control Services
The phenomenon of the grey economy often involves various abuses and neglect of statutory payments and taxes. The purpose of the Act on the Contractor's Obligations and Liability is to combat the grey economy and discrimination, and to promote fair competition. The law requires the principal contractor to ensure that its contractual partners fulfill their statutory obligations.
Econia's proactive service model for combating the grey economy aims at seamless management of subcontracting chains and preventing the shadow economy.
Advisory Services for industrial and construction projects
Through large international projects, we have grown into a respected expert providing services in compliance with the Act on the Contractor's Obligations and Liability and other responsibility issues for large construction sites and their subcontracting networks in Finland.

Set Up Services for international companies
The business obligations of a foreign company are largely based on international tax treaties. It is necessary to find out what kind of activity the company carries out, what kind of property the company has in Finland and whether the company will have a permanent establishment in Finland.
