Salary level for 2-3 year experienced accountants in Hki?

Post by FastTurtle » Mon Oct 06, 2008 5:26 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the average salary for 2-3 year experienced ( not junior and not senior, just normal accountant ) accountants in Helsinki?
Specifically in Nokia if anyone knows, but also in general within other big international companies.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not accountant, I am asking for someone else.
He doesn't have such certification, he has bachelors degree in Business Administration and worked as accountant for ~2 years and also as a SAP key user.

Thank you!

OK... so bookkeeping, back office etc.
IMO even with a degree and even with fluent Finnish you'll find it hard to get work here. Didn't see much on Mol for "accountants". There are people with 30 yrs plus experience doing those kind of jobs and they'd be lucky to take home 2000€ net (probably a lot less).
Best bet is UPM (?) the paper people, who have centralised all their back office stuff in Tampere; they have been hiring non-Finns (at least, they have been advertising in English). They have an on-line application form in English:

then click on

-> Jätä avoin hakemus
-> jatka
-> Suomi

Then choose Financial Services, Tampere in the drop down box

No idea what the pay is like though.

I think the SAP will be the magic word...
