Beierholm

What Beierholm does

Beierholm is a Danish auditing, accounting and consulting firm headquartered in Aalborg and founded in 1929. The firm employs over 1,800 colleagues across more than 40 local offices throughout Denmark and positions itself as Denmark's largest audit and tax advisor focused specifically on smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMV'er), as well as owner-managed businesses and private individuals. Service lines span statutory audit and assurance, accounting and bookkeeping outsourcing, tax and VAT advisory (operated as Denmark's largest SME tax department), corporate finance and M&A advisory, IT audit and security, sustainability/ESG consulting, recruitment, digitalization, and independent financial advisory under the Beierholm Finansiel Rådgivning and Beierholm Family Office sub-brands.

The firm operates a direct sales and relationship-based go-to-market model delivered through its local office network, with each office serving its surrounding geographic region and drawing on centrally held specialists in tax, corporate finance, sustainability and IT security. Its proprietary technology asset is Beierholm BeJour, an online digital platform (with iOS and Android mobile apps) that provides smart document handling, one-click payroll approval, deadline tracking, and direct collaboration with personal advisors. Cross-border engagements are served through membership in HLB International, a global network of accounting and business advisory firms.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees — time-based billing, packaged engagements, and limited subscription offerings (notably within financial advisory). Pricing is mostly quote-based and not publicly disclosed for core audit, tax and outsourcing services; financial advisory offers published package pricing (e.g., Formueplan at DKK 17,500–21,000 incl. VAT, hourly rate of DKK 2,400 excl. VAT). The customer base is highly distributed across Danish SMEs, with one example office alone serving approximately 1,200 businesses and the firm maintaining a presence across more than 18 distinct industry verticals. Ownership is partner-based with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public listing.
