Can you provide high-quality accounting services for Scandinavian-based clients?

Around 75 shared service centers are already established in Lithuania, where at least a part of them supports or oversees financial sector operations. Due to the situation in the current market, we can attract the best professionals from other organizations.

Why should I hire in the Baltics instead of Ukraine/Romania/India?

Having employees from Lithuania is a very different experience compared to other popular outsourcing destinations. The most important factors to consider are the time difference, cultural barriers, everyday and even unwritten business practices. With Lithuanian- based outsourcing, the only thing that needs a tiny bit of consideration is a practically non-existent cultural barrier, which can be an issue in other parts of the world. It is important to remember that Lithuanians are Northern Europeans just across the Baltic Sea from Sweden, with EU university degrees and Scandinavian business culture. The latter is being integrated into almost every new and well-off business regardless of their field. Our specialists are eager to learn, highly skilled, and are also easy to work with.

What kind of customers/partners are you looking for?

We are looking for partners that would like to relocate their business operations to a competitive cost location where compromise of quality is out of the question. Baltic Assist is eager to cooperate with companies seeking long-term nearshoring partnerships because it requires investment from both parties in the beginning but brings enormous benefits in the long run.

Do you do project-based work?

We never say ‘no’ to anything. Every challenge is a project-based task that is carried out with great attention to detail, maximum involvement, and striving to perfection. However, we are primarily focused on long-term partnerships. Reach out to us, let’s meet or get in touch to see whether we could provide appropriate services to suit your business!

Is it difficult to work with a remote employee?

Having remote employees is not difficult at all. A company that has never tried working with remote teams before would have to establish a few procedures and work tools. These are necessary to have appropriate communication means for task delegation, policy overview, comments, etc. These communication means would allow you to handle and work with employees regardless of the distance separating your HQ and your virtual assistant. If you are new - Baltic Assist has a blueprint ready for you.

How are you different from my local accounting service provider?

When we hire employees from you, who “owns” the employees?
