How filing works in Finland

You work on the portal under your own login. In Finland, the client adds you as a named user on its account on Tarjouspalvelu.fi (Cloudia): you prepare, upload and, on the client's written go-ahead, submit under your own login.

The client keeps its own login, the administrator role and every signature only it may give. You never use its credentials.

Do the work. Ask the client for anything missing, right on the job. Sign under your own name and registration, and upload.
