I thought about putting them to the same  tree but that gave me same headache as
I didn't know what to make the tree to look like. 

Should I create groups like "company1 finance", "company 2 finance" and so on..?
Or what does your tree look like?

One can use uid's without relating them to accounts...? Just a way to give
people an unique identifier (as people might have the same common name).
