Aider acquires the Gazelle company Trio Økonomi: establishing Mandals largest financial environment

Tre personer står foran en trevegg

The competence house Aider continues to grow and strengthens its position in Southern Norway through the acquisition of the award winning accounting firm Trio Økonomi in Mandal. With this, Aider becomes the largest provider of financial and advisory services in the city, while clearly signalling a strong focus on developing expertise and career opportunities in the region.


– Our goal is to be such an attractive workplace that more people choose to return to Mandal, says Trygve Mydland, Managing Director at Trio Økonomi.

Four time Gazelle company – now part of Aider


For nearly ten years, Trio Økonomi has supported small and medium sized businesses in the region with accounting, payroll, advisory and financial management services. With continuous growth and high client satisfaction, the company has been named a Gazelle business four times by Dagens Næringsliv. Despite strong results and local presence, they were convinced when Aider came knocking.


Becoming part of Aider means we can offer national expertise and future services locally here in Mandal. It is an enhancement for us, our clients and the entire region, says Mydland.


 


Building Southern Norways largest financial environment


The acquisition of Trio Økonomi takes place shortly after Aider also acquired Enti AS, another Mandal based company. The two environments will now be co located, and the new Aider office will consist of a total of 16 employees, making it Mandals largest professional environment within accounting, finance and advisory.


Mydland emphasises that clients will still meet the same advisors as before, but the service offering will now be significantly broader.


– We gain access to more than 1 300 specialists and can deliver everything from accounting and restructuring to HR, technology and sustainability reporting. This enables us to take on larger assignments and create even more value for our clients

Attracting talent and strengthening Mandal


For both Mydland and Chairman of the Board Terje Lindland, the merger represents an opportunity to contribute to local development and make Mandal more attractive for skilled jobs.


– Employment opportunities are crucial for where people choose to live. By establishing a strong and modern financial environment here in Mandal, we give people a reason to stay or return. Aider has made accounting and advisory attractive, and this will create ripple effects throughout the entire region, says Lindland.

AIDER--92

An attractive workplace in the heart of the archipelago


Ole Christian Pedersen, former Managing Director of Enti AS and now part of Aider Mandal, looks forward to the merger with the 12 employees at Trio Økonomi.


– We have long held great respect for Trio and their position in the market. Together, we will become even more relevant for the business community in Mandal and the Lister region. At the same time, we will be an attractive workplace for both recent graduates and experienced advisors.


He sees the initiative as a clear signal that Mandal has the potential to become a competence hub for Southern Norway.


You do not need to move to the city to get your dream job. With Aider behind us, we will build something great in the heart of the archipelago.
