What to expect as a consultant with us

HOW IT WORKS
  • We make it easy for international consultants to work compliantly in Norway while giving you full transparency throughout the process.
  • We prepare a transparent pay calculation, agree the terms together, and handle the onboarding process — including employment contract, registrations, insurance, pension, and guidance for Norwegian ID and tax registration.
  • You work for the client as agreed and submit your timesheets and any approved expenses.
  • We invoice the client, process payroll, deduct taxes, and pay your salary directly to your bank account.
Stage 1: ONBOARDING
  • First, we prepare an honest calculation showing your anticipated net pay and all cost items, followed by a Teams meeting to align expectations.
  • If everyone is happy to proceed, you provide the required information and upload your CV and ID to our portal.
  • We then issue and sign a compliant employment contract, after which you officially become our employee.
  • Next, we register you in the public employer-employee register (AA-register) and enrol you in our insurance and pension plan.
  • We also sign a service contract with the agency or end client.
  • Upon arrival in Norway, you must attend an ID check to obtain a Norwegian ID number (D-number or personal number, depending on the contract duration). We will book the appointment for you, and either you or we can apply for your tax card/code afterward.
Stage 2: PAYROLL
  • You keep a timesheet, usually in the client’s or agency’s system, and send us a copy at the end of each month.
  • Any expenses must be submitted separately, as Norwegian tax rules are very specific. Expenses require receipts, except for per diems and car allowances, and we will ask you to sign an expense claim.
  • We invoice the agency or client, receive the funds, and run payroll with the required income tax deductions.
  • Your payslip and a detailed payroll breakdown are uploaded to our portal, and your net salary is paid to your designated bank account in your chosen currency.
  • We report your income and taxes to the tax office, and you receive holiday pay either the following calendar year or at the end of the contract.
  • You can follow the payroll process at any time through our portal.
