Tress Group Outsources Billion-NOK Portfolio to Aider: Year-End Closing Now a Breeze

Tress Group develops commercial and residential real estate and manages property assets worth over one billion NOK. When the company decided to outsource its portfolio to an external accounting provider, they chose Aider.

Quality, Capacity, and Great People

“This was a significant and important decision for us, which is why we conducted a comprehensive tender process,” says Katinka Vister, CFO of Tress Group and CEO of Tress Business Management AS.

Aider emerged successfully from this process, and Vister emphasizes that it wasn’t just quality and capacity that mattered, but also human relations and collaboration.

“We got an excellent first impression of Aider, which was later fully confirmed,” Vister adds.

“Part of the Team”

It didn’t take long before Aider’s real estate team had established both solid routines and strong relationships—both crucial for delivering the best results, says Ernst Ørke, Director at Aider.

“Real estate work is built on trust and mutual respect, and we take that seriously. Tress does too, which is why we naturally hit it off quickly,” he explains.

“Equally important for us was to find a partner we could feel comfortable with. Aider shares our values, and we know and respect each other. In practice, there was really no other option.”

– Went Like a Dream

The result has been, among other things, an annual financial statement that, according to Vister, “went like a dream.”

“The same was said by the company’s auditor. Overall, Aider delivers high quality and reliable follow-up, and I experience them as a valuable advisor and sparring partner, both in day-to-day matters and during extraordinary events,” says the CFO, concluding:

“I’m incredibly happy to have Aider on our team, and at Tress we consider the Aider team as part of our own staff.”
