Some of the critical location factors for consolidating finance
and accounting functions in a SSC are:
- An attractive cost proposition with regard to salaries and
rent
- The availability of finance and accounting skills in the
area
- The availability of language skills
- Flexibility with regard to working hours
Matching these criteria, Copenhagen is an ideal location for
your SSC. The metropolitan area in and around Copenhagen offers a
highly skilled workforce in finance and accounting. The business
schools of the area as well as the large number of international
companies secure a profound knowledge of international finance and
accounting standards and procedures, supported by diverse language
skills. Flexibility in working hours is also an advantage for
support functions where heavy workloads in shorter periods of time
require flexibility, for instance in relation to settling the
annual accounts. Finally, Copenhagen is well connected to the rest
of the Nordic countries, which means a widening of the recruitment
base.
