Signing the order on behalf of the customer
If you sign the order on behalf of the customer, always make a power of attorney with the customer (you can find the template in Procountor’s accounting firm tools file vault: (Materials in English > Authorization form for the adoption in Procountor software.pdf).
With the authorization, the customer gives the accounting firm the authority to order the program on behalf of the customer. Keep the power of attorney or submit it after placing the order to hallinto@procountor.com. With the signed power of attorney, you can also secure your accounting firm’s position in the event of a dispute. Please note, if the accounting firm signs the contract without a power of attorney and the customer disputes the contract, the incurred costs will be fully charged to the accounting firm.
