Fiken review

Fiken lists entry fees of NOK 219 and offers no free tier. That is above the €13.15 median across listed accounting tools, and Fiken ranks 112 of 200 on starting price. Payroll is extra, so the real figure depends on the add-ons you take.

The trial runs for 30 days, placing Fiken at 9 of 166 listed brands for length. That is long enough for a small business to import a few months of bank activity and judge the bookkeeping before paying anything.

Fiken has no free plan: the model is free trial, and billing begins at NOK 219 once the 30 day trial ends. Budgets that need a costless tier will not find one here, so the trial is the only free window in the product.

Payroll is not in the base subscription. It is sold as an add-on at add on, on top of the NOK 219 entry fee, so a business running payslips through Fiken should price that module before choosing.

Compliance covers e invoicing, the requirement carried by the large majority of listed accounting tools. That is the only compliance item listed for Fiken, so businesses with other regional filing duties should check those against their own accountant before they commit to a subscription.

Bank feeds are supported, so transactions can be imported and matched instead of keyed in by hand. The 30 day trial gives room to test that matching on real activity, and an ios app covers checking figures away from the desk.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so email, phone and a help centre are all available. Email and the help centre handle routine questions, while phone suits anything urgent near a filing deadline. The product is provided by Fiken AS.

Fiken is aimed at small businesses, and its audience is listed as small business. The company behind it, Fiken AS, was founded in 2013. Owners who want accounting, bank feeds and e-invoicing under a single subscription fit the target, and the trial is long enough to test that.
