Accounting and advisory firm Enti in Mandal now joins the national competence house Aider. – With Aiders resources, we can deliver even better services to our clients, says CEO Ole Christian Pedersen.
Since its establishment in 2022, Enti Regnskap has grown rapidly in Mandal, providing solid deliveries to both small and large clients, including Norway’s largest land-based trout farm.
Enti was established as a separate company following a spin-off from audit, with the aim of focusing purely on accounting and advisory services. Founders Ole Christian Pedersen and Kjetil Hop Larsen identified a market need that the audit sector did not fully cover.
– We knew there was a market for more specialized accounting services in Mandal. After two years of high growth and several major clients, we recognized the need for more hands and broader expertise – and we found that in Aider, says Pedersen.
With the merger, Aider secures a strong foothold in Mandal and expands its presence across Southern Norway.
– This is a strategic initiative for us. We aim to be close to the business community in Mandal, Lister, and the entire southern coast, while providing clients access to national resources in everything from sustainability and HR to technology and SkatteFUNN, says Frode Holthe, Office Manager in Kristiansand.
Aider in Mandal will now provide both day-to-day accounting services and specialized advisory services, including outsourcing of finance functions, payroll services, and digitization of accounting systems.
We wanted to build an environment that is both attractive to skilled professionals and relevant for demanding clients. With Aider, we achieve that combination. This better positions us to be the local first choice for accounting and advisory services in Mandal, says Pedersen.
With Enti on board, Aider takes another step toward becoming the preferred provider of financial services in Southern Norway.
– We are now established in both Kristiansand and Mandal, opening the door for further growth in Arendal, Grimstad, and Lister. Our first priority is to solidify what we have started here, build culture, and tackle complex assignments together. This is how we grow – by creating value for clients and development opportunities for employees, says Holthe.
