The CEO’s message
"Our true impact on shaping a better future lies in our handprint – the transformative work we undertake with our clients to facilitate the green transition and meet the evolving regulatory landscape."
- Lari Hintsanen, CEO and Partner
In the past year, we have seen the market dynamics shift significantly, prompting us to adapt swiftly and with crystal-clear focus in the markets, new strategic growth offerings and delivery models; we have also adapted our operating model. As a result, we have achieved remarkable growth, with a 16% increase in revenue, reaching EUR 179 million, double-digit growth for the seventh year in a row and doubling revenue in the past four years.
While we celebrate our successes, we also acknowledge the impact of softer market conditions on certain aspects of our business. This has reinforced the need for us to accelerate our transformation efforts, ensuring alignment with future client agendas and needs.
Our deliberate focus on large companies and selected industries, coupled with strategic investments in technology and sustainability-driven transformation, has yielded positive outcomes. Furthermore, our unwavering commitment to both being a quality leader in auditing and enhancing our capabilities to serve listed companies have strengthened our position in the market. With this, we are also increasing our focus on selected clusters within the higher end of the private sector.
At Deloitte, we understand that we cannot thrive in isolation. We are committed to being deeply connected to our society, clients, public sector, regulators and the global community. Our collaborative efforts with the biggest firms, municipalities, cities and officials in Finland underscore our commitment to making a meaningful impact. We have a role to play in the ecosystems that shape the future of our economy.
As we continue to evolve, we have introduced new organisational structures to enhance our connectivity internally and better respond to the needs of our clients. This includes the consolidation of our business units and further developing our cross-border operating models to enhance our investments in global delivery models, centres of excellence and tech-enabled global teams that are aimed at always providing our clients with access to the best of global Deloitte.
While doing all this, we believe that even with technology and artificial intelligence (AI) advancing in huge leaps, the future is human. Recognising that success is not solely built on technology but also on the skillsets and imagination of our people, powered by new tools, we are dedicated to continually developing and future-proofing their capabilities. This is our key promise to our employees – we always provide them with stronger skills and greater value with which to face the future.
Shaping a better future through transformative change
In a world that is more interconnected than ever, in recent years we have witnessed the profound effects of supply chain disruptions, geopolitical shifts and the imperative for digital and green transformation. At Deloitte, we recognise the pressing need for transformation across societies, for our clients and within our organisation. It is our responsibility to lead the way and actively participate in shaping a better future.
Our purpose is clear – to enable Finland to reach its full potential. Our past in regard to this has been to build the leading and most influential transformative services provider on the market. We are committed to making a meaningful impact by connecting our society, clients and talent. We strive to be the partner of choice for embarking on transformative journeys, particularly those taken in the face of increasing digitalisation, regulatory changes and the pressing need for trust and transparency.
Moreover, we acknowledge the central role of leadership in propelling our success. Our dedicated focus on coaching leadership and diversity (with a specific emphasis on achieving gender equality in leadership), as well as human performance supporting well-being, underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering a talented and diverse workforce.
Looking ahead, we are committed to significantly investing in enhancing leadership quality even further as we accept that our success hinges on it. We firmly believe that aligning human investments and sustainability with technology investments will form the winning formula for our future success.
As we look to the future, we are mindful of our environmental footprint. Our move to the new office in Ruoholahti, Helsinki, designed to meet the highest sustainability standards, demonstrates our commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Additionally, we are actively implementing measures to limit our travel emissions and introducing greener policies to support sustainable practices.
We are deeply committed to aligning our strategy, both locally and globally, together with our clients on this journey. As indicated above, this includes substantial investments, enabling us to equip ourselves with the necessary skills and technologies, both now and in the future, to support our clients effectively.
At Deloitte, our purpose is to make an impact that matters. We are dedicated to fostering strong connections with our stakeholders, driving transformative change and leading the way towards a sustainable and successful future for the benefit of our talent, Finnish society and business.
By staying connected, we will reach our full potential together.
