This guide provides instructions on how accounting offices can establish new client companies in Netvisor and manage access rights. The guide also includes step-by-step instructions for filling in the company's basic data and selecting the Netvisor service package.

Establishing a new company

Access rights

Open the establishment of a new client company in Netvisor by selecting: Accounting office > Client companies > Establish a new company.

  • Make sure that you have user administrator (KH) rights in the accounting office. Only a user with KH rights can establish new client companies in the Netvisor program.
  • Note that the founder of the company automatically receives KH and KP rights in the new company.
  • If you have the accounting office's administrator (TPK) rights, you will automatically receive TPK, KH, and KP rights in the new company.
  • If you have payroll rights in the accounting office, you will also receive the Payroll accountant (P) role and the "All rights" profile for payroll in the new company.
  • Other users must be added to the new company manually, as they do not receive rights automatically.
  • In addition to KH rights, make sure that you have at least read rights in the function-specific access rights under "Basic data management". A "no rights" profile alone is not sufficient to add a new company.
  • When establishing a company, only a user with a Finnish personal identity code can be created as a user.
  • If a new company is established in the middle of the month, the current month is free of charge. For example, if the environment is opened in January, the charge starts from the beginning of February and the first invoice comes at the beginning of March.
  • Note that possible transaction charges start immediately after opening the company.


Company basic data

Business id:

  • Enter the company's business id.
  • Retrieve the company's information directly from YTJ by entering the business id and selecting the "Retrieve information" button.
  • Use the business id search for the following company forms: limited company, housing company and cooperatives. Currently, only these company forms are available via the YTJ interface.
  • Note that there can only be one company with the same business id in Netvisor.

Specification of accounts:

  • Select a specification of accounts for the company according to the company form selection.
  • Familiarise yourself with the available specifications of accounts before selecting the company form, as modifying the specification of accounts afterwards is laborious.
  • If the specification of accounts has been selected incorrectly, the company must be deleted and opened again. First contact support in such a case, as there cannot be two companies with the same business id.
  • Ask support to change the company form if the company form changes but the specification of accounts and business id remain the same.

Selection of the real estate company's chart of accounts:

  • Check the selection of the real estate company's chart of accounts from the articles of association.
  • Select either an adapted business formula or a basic specification of accounts as the chart of accounts based on the articles of association.
  • Do not deduce whether it is a mutual real estate company or a regular one based solely on the company's name.

Companies without a Finnish business id:

  • Note that opening a company in Netvisor requires a Finnish business id.
  • Establish a company with a generated business id only if the company does not have a Finnish business id and it has been ensured that the generated business id is available.
  • In such a situation, contact customer support to use a generated business id.

Group processing

Maventa connection

Open the management of the Maventa connection in Netvisor by selecting: Netvisor Store > Management of electronic service channels > Maventa e-invoice connection.

  • Use the Maventa connection for sending and receiving e-invoices in Netvisor.
  • Note that if account registration is prevented, you cannot send or receive e-invoices.
  • Note that the company's Maventa e-invoice address or scanning service address is not brought to the billing address notifications until the Maventa connection has been opened.
  • If the connection is not opened during the establishment phase, the company's user administrator can open the Maventa connection later from the management of electronic service channels in the Netvisor Store.
  • Note that the Maventa account is created within a day after the company is established.
  • Note that the bank network connection for invoices arriving from the bank network to the Maventa account opens within 1–3 banking days.
  • If the company already had a Maventa account in use in another system, note that the account does not open automatically in Netvisor.
  • Check the billing address view for a notification if the account cannot be opened due to an existing Maventa account.
  • Contact support if you want to transfer an existing Maventa account for use in Netvisor.

From 1.7.2022, opening the Maventa e-invoice connection in Netvisor requires authentication in a legally required manner. In the company establishment phase, enter the email address of the person with the company's representation rights, to which Visma Sign's electronic authentication request is sent.

  • Ask the person with the company's representation rights to approve on behalf of the company the Maventa service terms.
  • Make sure that the same person approves the sending and receiving of electronic documents and the opening of the Maventa account's bank network connection for the company for sending and receiving e-invoices through Finnish banks.

The accounting office's role in opening the Maventa connection:

  • When you open the Maventa e-invoice connection for your client (end customer), make sure that the end customer has authorised the accounting office to open the e-invoice connection.
  • Use an authorisation that can be part of the service contract between the accounting office and the end customer or a separate power of attorney.
  • Ensure that the authorisation is in writing and sufficiently specified so that it can be proven if necessary.
  • Be responsible for ensuring that the accounting office has the necessary representation rights to make a binding e-invoice connection opening request for the end customer.
  • Make sure that you have strongly identified the end customer for whom the e-invoice connection is opened.

Approval is done in the Visma Sign service and requires strong authentication. After this, the Maventa e-invoice connection opens for use.

Add your client as a Netvisor user

Add a company user while establishing the company by selecting in Netvisor: Accounting office > Client companies > Establish a new company > Add user.

  • In this view, add a user at the same time as you establish the company. Adding a user is mandatory.
  • Note that the founder of the company automatically receives rights to the company being established.

Selecting the administrator:

  • Select the user as the administrator if necessary.
  • Make sure that the administrator is a person working in the company.
  • Note that the administrator acts as the company's representative in Netvisor.
  • Give the administrator the right to create new user accounts, add or delete service sections and sign contracts within the service.

Finalising the establishment of the company:

  • Enter all mandatory information about the user and the company.
  • Select the "Continue to summary" button when the mandatory information has been entered.
  • In the opened view, check the company's information and edit it if necessary.
  • Establish the company by selecting the "Establish company" button.

After opening the company:

  • Note that when the company has been opened, a message about the opening is sent to the entrepreneur if the company user was established during the opening.

Below is an example message.
