FAQ about Nuriona Berdica

Who is Nuriona Berdica?

Nuriona Berdica is a seasoned financial and regulatory advisor in Albania, with senior experience spanning Big Four technical work, private-practice leadership and public-sector engagement, working principally with foreign investors and international groups.

What qualifications and professional registrations does she hold?

She is a fellow of the ACCA and a member of ACCA – Audit and Assurance Global Forum. She is a registered statutory auditor with IEKA in Albania (since 2011) and SCAAK in Kosovo (since 2007), and serves on IEKA’s Quality Control Committee. Within Kreston Global she is a member of the Quality and Professional Team, reviewing audit work across member firms.

What services does she provide?

Nuriona offers her services at Kreston Albania, a company specialised in offering audit and advisory services. Through Q-Lever, clients also get tax, bookkeeping and back office, quality assurance reviews, AI in finance work, and specialist input in corporate law, employment, licensing, data compliance and valuation.

Which clients typically engage her services?

Foreign investors setting up in Albania, subsidiaries of international groups, companies crossing audit, VAT or transfer pricing thresholds, and EU- and donor-funded projects.

What distinguishes her approach?

Two things. She works with the end in mind — structures are designed for where the business intends to be in several years, not only for the next filing. And her audit background means recommendations are made in the knowledge of how they will later be tested, which is why advice tends to survive contact with the authorities.

Can she help a foreign investor who has no presence in Albania yet?

Yes, and that is usually the best moment to start. The decisions taken at entry — what to establish, how it is held and financed, how the group relates to the local entity — determine what is possible afterwards and are more troublesome to revisit later.

Does she work alone or with a team?

Audit and advisory services are delivered with the audit team at Kreston Albania, where Nuriona is Audit and Advisory Equity Partner. Whenever a question needs specialist input outside her own field of expertise, such as tax, back office, EU integration, corporate law, employment, licensing or valuation, the Q-Lever network of experts steps in. The client keeps one point of contact, and the specialist input is coordinated behind it.

Why does specialist advice matter in Albania specifically?

Because the regulatory framework is converging with EU standards as accession negotiations advance, and is still moving. That is good news for an incoming investor — the rules are heading towards ones they recognise — but it means a structure should be designed with a view of where requirements are going, not only where they stand today.

Can foreign advisory firms work with her?

Yes. Firms with clients in Albania or Kosovo can work with her on a referral or joint-engagement basis – local audit and reporting, due diligence, back office services, quality management, transfer pricing documentation, or coordination of local specialist input.
