# Rise Certified Accountant Team: How the Service Works

> Your Rise account includes a KLT-certified accountant team that reviews AI-processed books, files returns, and answers your financial questions.

When you join Rise, you're not just getting software — you get a dedicated team of certified accountants who monitor your books, handle anything the AI can't resolve automatically, and proactively flag issues before they become problems. Your accountant team works in the background every month so your finances stay accurate and compliant without you having to chase anything down.

## What Your Accountant Team Does

Your team takes care of the financial work that requires professional judgment, not just automation.

## How the Team Model Works

Rise uses a **team model** rather than assigning you a single dedicated accountant. This means your account is always covered — no summer breaks, no sick days, no knowledge lost during handovers. Multiple certified professionals know your account and can step in at any time, giving you more consistent and resilient support than a one-person arrangement ever could.

## How to Reach Your Accountant Team

You can get in touch with your accountant team directly from within Rise, without going through a support queue. The fastest route is the in-app chat, where Rise's AI accountant also answers. Email and phone are available as well.

→ [Talking to Your Accountant](/account/communication): the channels, sending files, response times, and which channel to use when.

<Tip>
  Use the chat feature to ask your accountant team anything financial — not just questions about your Rise account. They can advise on VAT, contractor vs. employee status, expense deductibility, and more.

## What Rise Accountants Are Not

Your Rise accountant team is here for your day-to-day financial management and compliance needs, but they are not a substitute for a corporate lawyer or specialist financial advisor when it comes to major transactions. For mergers, acquisitions, or complex corporate restructuring, your Rise team can refer you to specialized advisors with the right expertise for those situations.

## Credentials and Jurisdiction Coverage

All Rise accountants hold relevant professional certifications for the countries they serve — for example, **KLT** (Kirjanpitäjä, licensed bookkeeper) certification in Finland. Your account always includes at least one accountant who is certified for your jurisdiction, so you can be confident that your books are handled by someone who knows the local rules.
