“Can a cloud-native Norwegian accounting system remain the preferred SMB bookkeeping tool under Visma ownership while expanding into year-end tax filing and embedded bank/payment flows?”
Founded 1998 as a bespoke accounting software vendor in Bodø, PowerOffice pivoted around 2012 to a cloud-first SMB accounting platform (PowerOffice Go), riding Norway's shift away from desktop permer. The company grew to 100,000+ customers and was acquired by Visma, Nordic SaaS consolidator for accounting/ERP, becoming an operating subsidiary while retaining its own brand and product.
PowerOffice was founded by Trond Eirik Paulsen and Tor Sivertsen and is founded in 1998, headquartered in Bodø, Norway.
