A New Chapter


Regnskapssentralen Førde has served the local business community for decades. Now, with its 8 employees, the company is joining a larger collective.


– Historically, recruitment has gone well, but recent rounds have been challenging. At the same time, we observed that other offices in nearby towns, such as Askvoll and Sogndal, were able to attract talented people after joining Aider. That prompted us to initiate a conversation, says Lunde.


Accounting in Transition – Harder to Stand Alone


Lunde highlights three key reasons why merging with Aider was the right move:


  • Increased competition for skilled professionals


  • Stricter requirements from the Financial Supervisory Authority and rising regulatory pressure


  • Industry trend towards mergers and larger entities



– It has become challenging to operate as a small accounting firm today. I wanted to ensure that Regnskapssentralen is optimally positioned for the next generation, he concludes.


 

Aider + Førde = Greater Security and Expanded Services


The partnership with Aider Vest quickly became a reality following discussions with regional leader Elisabeth Eide.


– Aider is forward-looking and has a strong technology environment, as well as solid resources in HR, systems, and compliance. This provides us with greater security in day-to-day operations – and more capacity. Not least, we can now offer additional services, including technology, integrations, and sustainability reporting, says Lunde

Local Accounting with National Strength


For clients, this means increased capacity, broader expertise, and assurance of continuity. At the same time, it remains the same people and the same local closeness as before.


– We will remain in Førde and continue with local presence – but with greater support and stronger resources behind us, says Lunde.


Førde Becomes a New Growth Hub for Aider


Aider has long aimed to establish a presence in Førde, and Regnskapssentralen proved to be a perfect match.


 


– This is a company with a good balance of experience and young talent, and strong growth potential across the region, says Elisabeth Eide.


 


She highlights culture, expertise, and forward-looking mindset as key reasons for the acquisition:


– Lunde and his team have worked in a structured and modern way. With them on board, we gain not only a presence in Sunnfjord, but also a partner that shares our vision for how the accounting industry should evolve, says Eide.


The Work Begins – and Aider Needs More Talent in Førde


The first step is closer collaboration between Aider offices in Vestland, alongside continued expansion of services to both new and existing clients.


– Now we begin strengthening the expertise hub in Førde. We already see the need for more skilled people, concludes Eide.
