What does firmally mean?
A name with diverse meanings
Firm + Ally
"Firmally" is a fusion of two significant concepts for us: "firm" and "ally."
The English word 'firm' refers to a type of business, similar to the Swedish word 'firma,' which is also found in the Finnish spoken language. For us, "firm" goes beyond being just a word; it symbolizes entrepreneurship, reliability, and commitment.
In English, 'ally' refers to individuals or groups that collaborate and support each other. The second part of our name emphasizes collaboration and community, i.e., partnership. Being a partner to our clients means moving towards success together, by providing honest and reliable support and actively addressing our clients' concerns.
Firma+lly
The term "firma" has its origins in the Latin language and was initially used in the context of confirming an agreement or a pact. Over time, the term evolved and began to be employed to describe commercial enterprises, further developing within various languages and cultures.
In Finland, it's common to use the term "firm" as an everyday expression for a company, regardless of its size or line of business. In everyday conversations, individuals frequently mention 'firm affairs' (referring to business matters) when discussing their work, engage in the festive spirit by attending 'the firm's Christmas party,' or document purchases on behalf of the firm. The term "firm" unites us and nurtures a feeling of camaraderie within the business world in Finland.
Firmally!
An interesting detail is how "Firmally" bears resemblance to "Formally." These similarities are intentional and reflect our commitment to being professional and meticulous in what we do. It is also a reminder of our international presence.
"Firmally" is not just a name for us; it encapsulates our values and commitment as your partner.
