Musti Group is the leading player in the Nordic pet products market, operating in Finland, Sweden, and Norway, with a turnover of nearly 400 million euros in the most recent financial year. In the spring of 2022, due to personnel changes, a need arose to quickly strengthen the finance function with expertise in external accounting to ensure continuity during the recruitment process and the year-end closing period.

Through NIS, Janne Turpeinen was appointed on short notice. With his expertise in external accounting and bookkeeping, he was able to quickly step into the organization and ensure that work continued without interruption.
“I am very satisfied that we found a competent resource for a temporary need that would otherwise have been difficult to solve so quickly,” says Taru Manner from the group’s finance team.

Once Janne had settled into the business, he was able, in addition to handling day-to-day accounting tasks, to contribute to the development of financial processes and systems, as well as support colleagues during intensive periods. Introducing new accounting staff and transferring knowledge also became a natural part of his assignment.

“Janne quickly took responsibility and familiarized himself with the tasks thanks to his solid expertise, which also enabled him to onboard new employees. He quickly became part of the team and Musti’s corporate culture, which was crucial for a well-functioning collaboration,” says Taru Manner.

Janne himself highlights the strong team as one of the greatest strengths:
“I have never felt alone—the colleagues have supported each other all the time.”

He has greatly enjoyed working at Musti Group, not least thanks to the open work environment—where office dogs have contributed to a pleasant everyday atmosphere between meetings and tasks. At the same time, the assignment has given him the opportunity to further develop his skills in systems and closing processes. As an external resource, he has also been able to contribute new perspectives and identify areas for improvement in financial processes.

Janne describes Musti’s corporate culture as agile and adaptable:
“Issues that arose were handled immediately, and decisions were made quickly. My team and my manager were present and included me in the daily work, while also being open to ideas and input.”

The assignment at Musti Group is a clear example of how effectively an interim solution can work when needs arise. The right expertise was identified quickly, and the work could begin immediately—something that would have been difficult to resolve internally within the same timeframe.

Thank you for the collaboration!
