Acquisitions
Freedom Group strengthens its local presence through the acquisitions of BroLin Ekonomikonsult AB and Åfa Redovisningsbyrå AB
Freedom Group continues to grow and is strengthening its presence in both Skellefteå and the Stockholm area through the acquisitions of BroLin Ekonomikonsult and Åfa Redovisningsbyrå. Together, the two businesses generate annual revenue of just over SEK 12 million and add expertise, clients, and new colleagues to the Group.
The acquisitions are two local add-on acquisitions that strengthen Freedom Group’s existing operations in their respective locations. BroLin Ekonomikonsult will relocate and share premises with Value & Friends in Skellefteå, while Åfa Redovisningsbyrå will become part of B&P in Ekerö.
Common to both acquisitions is a strong local presence and close, long-term client relationships, which are central to Freedom Group’s strategy.
“We strongly believe in combining a personal and local approach with modern digital ways of working and the strength of a larger group. With BroLin and Åfa, we gain more skilled colleagues in two locations where we already have a presence. At the same time, the local teams gain access to our shared technology, specialist expertise, and development capabilities. This gives us even better opportunities to provide clients with both the personal care they value and modern, efficient financial support,” says Emma Strömfelt, CEO of Freedom Group.
BroLin and Value & Friends brought together under one roof in Skellefteå
BroLin Ekonomikonsult is an established accounting firm in Skellefteå. Through the acquisition and the shared office with Value & Friends, a larger local team is being created with broader expertise and improved opportunities to collaborate around clients’ needs.
“By bringing our employees together under one roof, we can collaborate even more closely and provide our clients with access to a broader offering. At the same time, we retain the local presence and personal relationships that have always been our strength,” says Annelie Lindbäck, CEO of BroLin Ekonomikonsult AB.
Åfa strengthens operations in Ekerö
Similarly, Åfa Redovisningsbyrå becomes an addition to B&P in Ekerö and strengthens Freedom Group’s local offering. For clients, this means continued close contact with their local accounting firm, while the team gains access to the broader expertise, technology, and specialist resources available within Freedom Group.
The two acquisitions form part of Freedom Group’s continued ambition to build the accounting firm of the future, where local presence and personal relationships are combined with modern technology, digital ways of working, and the collective expertise of a larger group. The goal is to provide small and medium-sized businesses with more comprehensive and proactive financial support, without losing the local presence that clients value. This is in line with Freedom Group’s strategy of combining decentralised client relationships with shared technology and specialist expertise.
