What we do
Advisory built around the Norwegian tax year
Most problems we see are not caused by complicated law. They are caused by decisions taken without knowing the tax consequence. We map the consequence first, then do the filing work.

Client feedback
What business owners say
"We had three years of unclear dividend documentation. Kvarven rebuilt the position, filed corrections and dealt with Skatteetaten directly. No penalties, and now we know the rules."
"Our previous accountant answered by email in two weeks. Here we get an answer the same day, in writing, with the legal reference. That difference is worth a lot at year end."
"They restructured how we pay ourselves and set up payroll for two foreign engineers. Everything was explained in English before we signed anything."

Common questions
Straight answers before you call
Can you take over an engagement mid-year?
Yes. We review the current bookkeeping, agree what needs correcting, and handle the handover with your previous accountant. Most transfers are completed within two to three weeks.
Do you work in English as well as Norwegian?
All advisers work in both languages. Formal filings go to Skatteetaten in Norwegian; your summaries, memos and meetings can be in English.
What happens if Skatteetaten opens a control?
We take the correspondence, prepare the documentation, and represent your company through the process, including appeals if the assessment is wrong.
Do you publish prices?
No. Scope varies too much between companies for a price list to be honest. You get a written fee proposal after the first consultation, before any work starts.
