The path to order
Five steps, from reading the price to the agreement starting.

Pricing
Read the three services and what each one covers.
02
Choose your service
Essentials, Insights or Complete, for each property you let.

Your details and properties
Your company details, and the properties the books will cover. By law we also have to identify you, whoever acts for you, and the owners.
04
Read and accept the agreement
The customer agreement in full, before anything begins. We send you the order form filled in from the above; you check it and sign.
05
Confirm
The agreement starts once you have signed, we have accepted it, and the identification is complete.

Wherever your rental is
A cabin on a fell, a cottage in the archipelago, a villa by a lake or a flat in town. The bookkeeping and the VAT work the same way across mainland Finland, and so does Totalhost.

What do you need from me each month?
Forward your receipts and invoices to your own Totalhost address, and tell us when something changes. That is the whole of it.
Who files the VAT?
We do. We work out the figures for the period at the correct rates and submit the return in OmaVero, using the Suomi.fi mandate you give us. A person does that. There is no automatic connection to the Tax Administration. On Complete we also read what comes back and escalate it to you when necessary.
Paying the tax is a separate act, and that one stays yours. We never move your money.
What happens at the year end?
You get your income statement and your balance sheet, and we prepare your tilinpäätös. It is part of every service, not an extra.
Can I see the books myself?
Yes. You have your own login, with the receipts you send us and the invoices from us. The ledger is append-only, so a correction is posted as a reversal and the original entry stays where it was.
What does it cost?
Read the three services and what each one covers. Work beyond the ordinary month is extra bookkeeping at €89 / hour + VAT, and anything charged by the hour is agreed with you before it starts.
How do I start?
Read the pricing, choose a service, and send us your details and your properties. You read and accept the customer agreement, and the agreement starts once you have approved it and we have accepted it. Write to us first if you would rather ask something before any of that.
We check everything you send us.
