Leif Breiland
Office Manager • Bodø
The competence house Aider is experiencing strong growth in Northern Norway and has recently acquired two accounting firms in Bodø: Breiland Økonomi AS and Thor Consulting Bodø AS. The three companies will now be brought together under one roof, forming Bodøs largest competence environment within accounting, finance and advisory services.
We aim to be a prominent local player closely connected to Bodøs business community, backed by Aiders entire national network, says Glenn Håvar Brottveit, Partner at Aider and outgoing Office Manager in Bodø.
With the acquisition of two strong and well established players in the Bodø region, Aider is taking a proactive approach to becoming the citys preferred financial partner.
– This is not only about growth. It is about building a strong local professional environment with broad national expertise. We want to attract the best people and deliver the best services, says Leif Breiland, Managing Director at Breiland Økonomi and new Office Manager for Aider in Bodø
Kristian Hals, Managing Director at Thor Consulting, states that the acquisition enables them to take on larger and more numerous assignments than before.
– We have delivered strong results since our establishment in 2022, but we have lacked capacity. We can now draw on the expertise of more than 1 000 Aider employees nationwide. This means that moving forward we will say yes to significantly more, says Hals.
An important objective of the merger is to create an attractive workplace in the centre of Bodø. Aider will now have more than 20 employees in the city, and the combination of local relationships and national resources provides fertile ground for growth and development.
– We are building a strong professional environment that allows people to develop themselves, whether they are passionate about technology, sustainability, HR or traditional accounting, says Brottveit.
The acquisitions not only provide improved services for clients, but also a larger and more secure employer for employees.
– We gain the best of both worlds, local proximity and national strength. This provides security for both clients and employees, says Breiland.
