About Eesti Finantsteenuste Agentuur (EFTA)

Headquartered in Tartu, this Estonian-owned finance and bookkeeping group has roots going back to a 1991 accounting bureau, with the current brand created in 2010 and a Tallinn operation sold in 2013. It serves private companies, public bodies, municipalities, foundations and non-profits, and also mentions international clients receiving accounting and HR support. The core offer is cloud-based bookkeeping, either as a full package, a senior accountant role or a temporary interim accountant, together with payroll. Around it sit interim finance-director work, budgeting, cash-flow management, business plans, business models and management dashboards built on analytics tools. Related group companies provide legal advice and statutory audit, the latter run by a regional audit firm active since 1993. The firm also handles company set-up, mergers, divisions, conversions and liquidations, preparing the registry documents and representing clients before the notary or bank. The team of about ten includes a sworn auditor, accountants, an analyst and a lawyer, and its website is in Estonian.
