Audit-Ready, Without the Scramble

An audit, a review, an FIU inspection or a Tax Board query is only stressful when the paperwork isn’t ready. We guide Estonian companies through all of them - papers in order, auditors coordinated, deadlines under control - so the process is a formality, not a fire drill. We do not replace the independent auditor; we make their job (and yours) fast and painless.

We work with companies crossing the audit thresholds, FIU-licensed businesses, and any company facing a Tax Board review - in Estonian, Russian and English.

Do You Even Need an Audit?

Many companies prepare for an audit they don’t legally require - or miss that they do. The statutory thresholds decide it:

  • Audit - at least two of three: €5M revenue, €2.5M assets, 50 employees (or any one of €15M / €7.5M / 180).
  • Review (lighter than an audit) - at least two of three: €2M revenue, €1M assets, 24 employees (or any one of €6M / €3M / 72).

We assess your figures first and tell you plainly which obligation applies - sometimes the most valuable outcome is confirming you need neither this year.

Our Process

  1. Pre-audit review (1–2 months before the deadline) - identify missing documents, prepare draft financials, flag potential adjustment areas.
  2. Audit support - coordinate with the auditor, explain Estonian GAAP treatments, provide supplementary evidence.
  3. Post-audit - Äriregister submission support, board-minutes preparation, and tax-optimization recommendations for next year.

Frequently asked questions

When is an audit or a review mandatory in Estonia?
An audit is required if you exceed at least two of three thresholds - €5M sales revenue, €2.5M total assets, or 50 employees (or any one of €15M / €7.5M / 180). A lighter review applies at €2M / €1M / 24 (or any one of €6M / €3M / 72). Most small companies need neither. We check which obligation, if any, applies to you.
Do you perform the audit yourselves?
No - by law an audit is carried out by an independent, licensed auditor. We prepare your documentation, organise the working papers and manage the communication so the audit runs smoothly and quickly.
What if the Tax Board opens a review?
We compile the requested documents, explain the accounting and tax treatments used, and communicate with the Tax and Customs Board (EMTA) on your behalf - so you are not answering technical questions alone.
We are a licensed crypto company - can you handle the FIU audit?
Yes. Licensed virtual-asset providers must appoint both an internal and an external auditor and file annually. We keep the books auditor-ready all year and coordinate the process. See our crypto accounting service.
How far in advance should we start?
Ideally one to two months before the deadline. Starting early means missing documents and adjustment areas are found calmly, not discovered by the auditor at the last minute.
