any oppourtuinity for commerce background in finland

[beenasharma8]

hi

i am master degree holder in commerce means i have a M.COM degree from india. Finnsih education board also authorize this one.In my home country i was a accountant in a C.A Firm Chartered Accountant firm. I want to know that what should i do to get a job in finland in the same field. Because somebody told me that there is no scope for commerce, only arts and science.

For mahanmuttajalle there is only lahihoitaja is the option and i do not want that one. Is there any some short course in accounting which i can join and understand finnish accounting. I know some finnsh language but not perfectly but i am trying to polish it as soon as possible. In finland there is also C.A. like india. could somebody provide me some knowledge about finnsih accounting system or there is some tyoharjoitelu paikka where i can learn finnish accounting .

thanks in advance.

Try to look at it from the perspective of your customers.
Would you trust an accountant with a foreign degree who doesn't speak very good Finnish?
No matter if your degree is authorized or if you have a Finnish back-up course, you have a disadvantage compared to Finnish bookkeepers.
Unless you can find a firm that does a lot of business with India, I think you'll have a difficult time to find a job in your field.

u r right rinso....but i am not saying that i will do independent book keeping in finland. I know it is impossible. But i can join some book keeping firm and i could do some clerical ------job under his guidance. In india there are lots of persons under a C.A. who did clerical job , but i do not know that is the same in finland or not.

but any why thanks for ur reply, at least somebody noticed my queries and give answers.

thanks

In Finland theres two certifications for accountants, for KHT which you do banks and such and HTM who do corner shops. For HTM you'd have to pass something like this:
