Keeper

What Keeper does

Keeper AB is a Stockholm-based, privately held Swedish accounting and payroll bureau that provides fully digital outsourced financial services to small and mid-sized companies across Sweden. Founded in 2009 when CEO Hanna Montoya revived a dormant company, Keeper delivers a bundled portfolio of bookkeeping, year-end closing, tax declarations, payroll administration, and economic advisory. The firm operates a horizontal segmentation strategy, serving clients from early-stage startups through mid-market companies with up to 800 employees, and explicitly excludes sole proprietorships (enskilda firmor) from its customer base.

The technology stack is built on third-party cloud accounting and payroll platforms — Fortnox, Visma (including Visma Lön 600), Capego, Hogia, Agda, and Kontek — with documented integrations into time-and-attendance systems (Alexis, BLIKK, FLEX), digital mailboxes (Kivra), document collaboration (Microsoft Teams and SharePoint), and bank payment files (Danske, Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB, Swedbank, Länsförsäkringar). The firm does not expose a public or partner-facing API, and proprietary technology is positioned as workflow automation and integration depth rather than original platform development.

Revenue is generated through fixed monthly subscription pricing: the Cheeper accounting package starts at 1,600 SEK/month for smaller companies, the Premium package starts at 2,500 SEK/month for higher transaction volumes, and the standalone payroll bureau (Lönebyrå) is priced from 170 SEK per employee per month. Advisory services are billed separately as professional services work. Go-to-market is direct-to-business via website, phone, and email, with a structured onboarding funnel (free digital quote meeting, BankID-signed contract, implementation team-led transition). The company operates from a single Stockholm headquarters (Gästrikegatan 12) and reports a headcount in the 11–50 range (two-digit employees) serving over 200 customers. No external funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed.

Keeper AB provides outsourced digital accounting, payroll administration, and economic advisory services to small and mid-sized Swedish businesses. Core deliverables include ongoing bookkeeping, invoicing, VAT and employer declarations, year-end closing, payroll runs, and tax/dividend planning, delivered by FAR- and SRF-authorized consultants at fixed monthly prices through a 100% digital platform built on Fortnox, Visma, and Capego.

Product overview

Keeper is a digital accounting and payroll bureau based in Stockholm, Sweden, offering a portfolio of bundled accounting, payroll, and advisory services to businesses across Sweden. The core offering is structured around two named accounting packages — Cheeper (entry-level, from 1,600 SEK/month for small companies) and Premium (customized, from 2,500 SEK/month for larger companies) — supported by standalone service lines for payroll management (Lönehantering), advisory (Rådgivning), year-end closing (Bokslut), and tax declarations (Deklarationer). The payroll bureau sub-brand (Lönebyrå) is priced from 170 SEK per employee per month. All services are delivered digitally with fixed monthly pricing and backed by authorized accounting and payroll consultants, functioning as either a complete outsourced finance department or a complement to existing in-house teams.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Mazars Sweden: International accounting and advisory firm with a Stockholm office offering bookkeeping, payroll, and tax compliance. Comparable to Keeper on service lines but serves larger mid-market and enterprise clients with a Big-Mid-tier positioning.
• Visma Spcs / Visma Sweden: Nordic accounting and payroll software giant (also integrated into Keeper's stack via Visma Net, Visma Lön). Operates a much broader portfolio but increasingly competes with traditional bureaus via embedded AI automation and direct SMB tools.
• Fortnox: Swedish cloud accounting platform whose software Keeper integrates with. Fortnox increasingly offers direct-to-SMB automation and partner-led accounting services, positioning it as both a partner and a competitor that could disintermediate traditional bureaus like Keeper.
• RSM Sweden: Global mid-tier accounting network's Swedish member firm, offering bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and advisory services. Comparable in service stack and SMB/mid-market orientation but with international network reach and brand.
• BDO Sweden: Global accounting and advisory network with a Swedish member firm offering bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and audit services. Overlaps with Keeper's advisory and accounting service lines and serves similar SMB/mid-market clients, but at greater scale and with broader audit capabilities.
• Baker Tilly Sweden: Mid-tier Swedish accounting firm providing bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and advisory services to SMBs. Comparable service mix to Keeper, slightly larger scale, and operates through a network model rather than a single office.

Regional players

• Wintership (Lönekompaniet / Saldobo): Smaller Swedish payroll-bureau-style service provider focused specifically on payroll administration for SMBs. Directly comparable to Keeper's Lönebyr\u00e5 sub-brand in service scope and pricing model, with regional rather than national reach.

Direct peers

• Azets Sweden: Nordic accounting, payroll, and advisory outsourcing firm with a substantial Swedish bureau business. Directly comparable to Keeper in service mix (bookkeeping, payroll, advisory) and SMB/mid-market target segment, but operating at significantly greater scale and backed by private equity.
• Accountor Sweden: Nordic accounting, payroll, HR, and advisory outsourcing group with deep Swedish presence. Offers the same bundled service stack as Keeper (bookkeeping, payroll, advisory, year-end) to SMB and mid-market clients and competes head-to-head for the same customer segment.
• Hogia: Swedish-owned group providing both accounting/payroll software and bureau services to SMBs. Comparable to Keeper on service delivery and customer profile, with the additional dimension of proprietary software ownership.
