Bolina switched accountant to Aider

It doesn't get any better than this

Better control and more time!


Until three years ago, Per Yngland, Chairman of the Board at the furniture and interior store Bolina, believed that an accountant was just an accountant. Then he tried two different providers in the span of three years.


 


“It was like night and day. Problems we had struggled with for nearly two years were solved within two months after Aider took over. My entire workday has changed for the better, with lower stress, better control, and more time,” says Yngland.


Particularly on the tech front, Aider contributed with critical clean-up and efficiency improvements. A failing integration between the ERP system and the Shopify sales platform had caused Yngland significant frustration during the retail turbulence of the pandemic.


“It weighed heavily on me. But Aider in Bærum leveraged the tech expertise within the Aider system, and suddenly it was resolved. They also introduced new routines, increased automation, and new methods for processing data.”


 


“The result was that not only I, but also another internal resource, have freed up a significant amount of time that can now be devoted to other tasks. We can take a broader perspective now. And because we have such a close and productive collaboration, our internal employee has developed accounting expertise that will provide us with substantial value for a long time to come.”


 

Reduced costs

From the very first meeting, Aider in Bærum emphasized that they were unlikely to be the accounting advisors with the lowest hourly rates. However, nine months after the switch, the conclusion was clear:


“With Aider, we have reduced accounting-related costs by 25 percent compared to 2024. That shows that there can be money saved by paying a bit more for quality,” says Yngland, adding:


“And it’s difficult to put a price on the relief of being freed from all my frustrations. But now everything runs smoothly, and this year we were able to submit the annual financial statements in February, whereas last year we weren’t finished until the end of June. Communication is also excellent, we’ve strengthened our internal staff, and we’ve reduced costs.


– It doesn’t get any better than that.”

Strength in close collaboration


– This has been an incredibly fruitful partnership and truly a success story. They are no longer uncertain about the numbers, and they now experience greater control and confidence. Bolina deserves a lot of credit for addressing these issues and for having people who are genuinely eager to learn. It has been beneficial for both parties, and it demonstrates the strength of close collaboration,” says Ellef Strand, Office Manager in Bærum.
