I would highly recommend using Northern Partners as a supplier for payroll and visa processing. I have worked with Northern Partners on several projects and have always found them to be very knowledgeable across all 4 of the Nordic countries. The communication between our two companies has always been very good, and they will continue to be a preferred supplier for Spencer Ogden.

Northern Partners has been handling my account for the past two years, and their service has been nothing short of outstanding. Their expertise in Norwegian accounting and payroll services has consistently exceeded my expectations. I’d especially like to highlight Gry Brækken, our account representative, who has gone above and beyond to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. Her responsiveness and dedication have made a real difference.
Juli C.Sr. Strategic Sourcing Manager, Norway
After getting a contract in Denmark, I needed help with payroll processing, tax registration, getting a Danish personal ID number, access to the Danish health care system and more.

Per recommendation, I contacted Northern Partners for support and I am very glad that I did.
After uploading a picture of my passport and filling in my details, everything was ready. It's all very easy. Northern Partners takes care of everything.

I got a great contact person who always answers my questions. In conversation, they are very friendly and professional. They quickly become like a colleague from the economy department, just like in a normal workplace.

I find their fee to be low in relation to what you get (which is a lot).
To sum up, I really don't do anything except do my job and Northern Partners does the rest.

I would like to say a few words about my 30 months spent working offshore Denmark on the Tyra project.
I was looked after by Northern Partners during this period. From the moment I arrived feeling lost in Copenhagen, I was met by a Northern Partners representative and felt immediately that this was a personal and caring company.

Northern Partners were always easy to contact and gave me advice on the tax and salary systems in use. They had a personal touch where their people would meet me and help me with anything I needed whilst being overseas. I would definitely work with Northern Partners in any future projects as they were first class in all respects.
Barry R.Offshore Technician, the North Sea, Denmark
Working with Northern Partners has been a great experience, I will definitely try to use (and recommend to friends/ colleagues to use) Northern Partners if working in Scandinavia in future.
