The story

Founded in 2013 as a Nordic outsourced accounting and IT services provider, ECIT has grown through acquisition to 3,000 employees across 120 offices in 11 countries. The company has steadily broadened from pure accounting/payroll outsourcing into adjacent business solutions: ERP implementation (Microsoft Business Central, Visma.net), document automation, compliance/KYC tools, and IT outsourcing. The embedded finance angle is nascent — ECIT Iceland has begun offering receivables financing via Primis, and the compliance business line explicitly operates a KYC system for clients' AML obligations.
