Authorisations, Certifications and Industry Standards
Engaging an accounting firm is a matter of trust. Authorisations and certifications are not just titles — they are evidence that work is carried out in accordance with documented requirements for competence, quality and professional ethics. Here we gather everything that shows what we live up to and why it matters to you as a client.
Industry Standards and Authorisations
SRF-Authorised Accounting Firm
Revea is an accounting firm authorised in accordance with SRF’s requirements. Our team includes SRF-authorised accounting consultants, authorised payroll consultants and certified business advisors.
SRF (Sveriges Redovisningskonsulters Förbund) sets high standards for education, experience and professional ethics. Authorisation requires documented competence, several years of practical experience and an approved authorisation programme.
Authorisation also means:
- Regular quality reviews
- Mandatory continuing professional development
- Valid professional indemnity insurance
- Compliance with the industry’s ethical guidelines
For our clients, this means that assignments are handled by qualified specialists with documented competence and professional accountability.
We offer accounting, payroll and business advisory services as a cohesive financial partnership.
SRF-Authorised Accounting Consultant
An SRF-authorised accounting consultant is more than a bookkeeper. This is a professional who meets high and documented standards for competence, experience and professional ethics.
Requirements for authorisation:
- Documented education and several years of practical experience with own client responsibility
- Approved authorisation programme
- Work in accordance with REX — Swedish Standard for Accounting Assignments
- Regular quality reviews
- Ongoing continuing professional development
This means that work follows a clear methodology and quality-assured structure — not individual routines. Four of our consultants are authorised by SRF.
This gives you:
- Confidence that your accounting is handled correctly
- Stable and consistent quality over time
- An advisor who is up to date on tax and regulatory matters
- Professional accountability in every assignment
SRF-Authorised Payroll Consultant
Payroll management is more than calculating salaries. It is a complex area requiring precision, in-depth knowledge of employment law, collective agreements and tax regulations — with zero tolerance for errors.
Our authorised payroll consultants work in accordance with SALK — the Swedish Standard for Authorised Payroll Consultants — and have documented competence in payroll processes and employment law.
This gives you:
- Accurate payroll, on time
- Secure and documented processes
- Reduced risk when legislation or agreements change
- Professional handling of sensitive HR matters
Srf Certified Business Advisor
An Srf Certified Business Advisor is a qualified advisor with documented competence in analysis, financial management and strategic decision support — not just accounting.
The certification means that the advisor works systematically with analysis and decision support, assists companies with strategic matters and actively contributes to profitability and liquidity management.
The role includes budgeting, forecasting, investment calculations, price and volume assessments, and advisory support during growth and change.
This gives you:
- Better decision support
- Clearer financial overview
- Support with important business decisions
- A partner who contributes to development — not just administration

REX — Swedish Standard for Accounting Assignments
Revea works in accordance with REX, the current industry standard for accounting assignments developed by SRF.
REX is a structured framework governing how assignments are planned, executed and documented — from the start of an engagement and risk assessment through to ongoing quality control and advisory. The principle is straightforward: right from the outset. This reduces the risk of errors and creates stability in your financial management.
In practice, this means clear assignment definitions, documented work steps, ongoing internal control and full traceability throughout the process.

SALK — Swedish Standard for Payroll Processes
In the payroll area, we work in accordance with SALK — Kvalitetssäkrad Löneprocess (Quality-Assured Payroll Process), the industry standard for authorised payroll consultants developed by SRF.
SALK divides the payroll process into clear stages: from planning and reasonableness checks through to handling of discrepancies, documentation and close-out. This ensures that payroll is managed correctly, systematically and on time — and that the process can be followed up and reviewed when needed.
This gives you:
- Accurate payroll, on time
- Secure and documented processes
- Peace of mind when legislation or collective agreements change

An authorized firm works according to established industry standards with documented processes and professional responsibility. For you as a client, this means confidence that your accounting is handled correctly, that quality is consistent over time and that your advisor stays current on tax laws and regulations. An authorized consultant is not just an administrator — it’s a qualified advisor with responsibility for quality and structure in your company’s finances.
To become SRF-authorized, a consultant must have several years of professional experience with direct client responsibility, documented theoretical competence, an approved authorization program, valid liability insurance, regular quality reviews and ongoing professional development. The authorization is time-limited and must be renewed through continuous competence development and quality control.
It means that Revea meets the strict requirements set by SRF (Sweden’s Association of Accounting Consultants) regarding education, experience and professional ethics. Our team includes SRF-authorized accounting consultants, authorized payroll consultants and certified business advisors. The authorization requires regular quality reviews, ongoing professional development, valid liability insurance and compliance with the industry’s ethical guidelines.
