What Snøhetta Regnskap does

Snøhetta Regnskap is a Norwegian regional accounting and advisory firm headquartered in Dovre, operating through a network of 12-13 local offices across Southern Norway from Oppdal in the north to Øyer in the south, with concentrations in the Gudbrandsdalen valley and the Møre og Romsdal region. The firm serves approximately 2,100-2,700 small and medium-sized business clients and agricultural enterprises, providing bookkeeping, annual financial statements, tax filing, payroll, business establishment services, business transfers and succession planning, financial advisory, and specialized agricultural accounting. Its professional staff includes 42 certified public accountants (statsautoriserte regnskapsførere), with Paul Ulheim serving as Group CEO and Kjell Arne Steinhovden as co-founder.

The firm's technology stack is built on certified partnerships with three leading Norwegian cloud accounting platforms: Tripletex (Norwegian market leader with 150,000 customers), PowerOffice Go (intuitive dashboard-led system), and Duett Økonomi (strong in agriculture and real estate). These platforms deliver real-time collaboration between Snøhetta advisors and clients, mobile receipt scanning via OCR, automated invoice and bank reconciliation, and AI-assisted bookkeeping features embedded by the platform vendors. Snøhetta complements this stack with Snøhetta Data, a wholly-owned IT subsidiary established in 2016 that helps clients select and operate digital accounting solutions.

The business model is professional services delivered under custom-quoted, multi-year engagements. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service accounting, annual recurring advisory, and specialized agricultural and succession work, with services sold primarily through face-to-face local office relationships, referrals, and educational theme events (temakvelder). Ownership is structured as a cooperative under Snøhettagruppen AS (established 2012), with individual regional offices (e.g., Oppdal AS, Molde AS) operating as separate legal entities collaborating under the Snøhetta brand. The firm has not raised external funding and operates as a private partnership.
