Another amazing year at FA Solutions!

During this year we have explored new markets in the UK, Canada, and United States, as well as positions in the Nordic home markets amd Middle East. We’re also working on setting up the office in London. With all these exciting discussions, negotiations, deployments and partnerships ongoing we can’t wait to see what the next year will bring along.

Throughout the year we organised a bunch of interesting Breakfast Seminars and took part in several events around the world. This year we also arranged the second annual FA User Summit 2018. The event was a huge success and we can’t wait for the next year to arrange FA User Summit 2019!

Our product development team has been working hard to develop our FA Platform even further.The result of these efforts is the new, modern-looking and even more powerful FA Platform 3.0, which brought us a variety of new functionalities, such as limit monitoring, PDF export, preferences view and other useful features.

Last year we thought we were growing fast. Little did we know! This year, we set the new recording by hiring 19 new colleagues in the Helsinki and Stockholm offices – and will welcome even more new colleagues in the beginning of 2019. We are close being a team of 60 professionals looking forward to meet all the new colleagues and friends that the year 2019 is going to bring us.

The picture above was taken during the team trip to Barcelona, Spain in September. We had a sprint of two days for small teams to develop an idea as far as possible. We’ve come up with some brilliant idea, which we hope will be implemented in the upcoming versions of the FA Platform.

We are constantly in search of new colleagues!

This year we decided try out something different and organised the Christmas dinner for our clients in Sweden and Christmas breakfast for our Finnish clients. That turned to be a good idea: we’ve got a possibility to meet our clients personally, tell them a bit about our new FA Platform 3.0 and finish the year on a positive note. Thank you again to all the participants!

The financial industry is going through many changes currently and during the next coming years. We are constantly developing our knowledge and expertise to support our customers in times of change.

“FA Solutions continues to grow rapidly – the revenue in 2018 exceeded 6 million with over 50% growth rate. Majority of the revenue comes from the Nordic countries, but the share of revenue from other countries is increasing rapidly. We are serving clients in 12 different countries globally from Singapore to Canada. As part of our strategy to speed up the internationalization, we have now established presence in UK as well.

The year 2019 is a year of celebration as FA Solutions reaches the age of 20. As a founder of the company, I am grateful to have witnessed FA to grow from a single-man company to an international company of nearly 60 dedicated professionals. I want to thank all of our clients, partners and especially the employees of FA Solutions to have made this journey together possible.

I wish everyone Happy Holiday Season!”
