What ECIB does

ECIB (Ekonomicenter i Bohuslän AB) is a privately held Swedish accounting and financial advisory firm headquartered in Tanumshede in the Bohuslӓn region. The firm was established by co-founders Camilla Zätermyr and Gunilla Johammar, both authorised accounting consultants, and operates according to the REX Swedish standard for accounting services and quality assurance as a member of SRF (Svenska Redovisningsförbundet). ECIB was named Årets Företagare (Entrepreneur of the Year) in Tanum Municipality in 2021 by Företagarna. The firm serves local small and medium-sized businesses and private individuals primarily within the Bohuslӓn catchment area.

The firm offers a unified portfolio of professional accounting services delivered personally by its consultants: ongoing bookkeeping (Redovisning & löpande bokföring), financial statements and annual reports (Bokslut & årsredovisning), tax declarations including VAT and employer contributions (Deklarationer), and financial advisory covering budgeting, economic analysis, and tax advice (Ekonomisk Rådgivning). Through collaboration partners, ECIB also brokers access to legal, auditing, and insurance/investment services. The team of approximately six staff includes two co-founder authorised consultants, additional redovisningskonsulter, and a redovisningsassistent, all delivering work directly to clients with no intermediary or marketplace channels.

ECIB's revenue model is fee-for-service professional services, priced individually per engagement based on client scope rather than through publicly disclosed rates or productized offerings. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on local presence, word-of-mouth, SRF referral credibility, and the founders' longstanding personal relationships in the area. No external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or public listing is disclosed; the firm is founder-owned and operates as an independent Swedish Aktiebolag with no proprietary technology platform beyond standard Swedish accounting and industry software.

Direct peers

• Azets: Large Nordic accounting, payroll, and advisory firm with offices across Sweden. Competes directly with ECIB for SMB accounting clients in Sweden, offering similar bookkeeping, tax, and advisory services with significantly broader geographic coverage.
• Accountor: Nordic accounting and payroll services provider serving SMBs across Sweden, Finland, and Norway. Offers the same core services as ECIB (bookkeeping, payroll, tax, advisory) but at much larger scale, making it the most direct competitor for SMB clients seeking outsourced accounting.

Broad incumbents

• BDO Sweden: Swedish member firm of the global BDO accounting network providing audit, tax, and advisory services. Competes for the same SMB and mid-market client base as ECIB, but operates at a much larger scale with broader service lines including audit.
• Hogia: Swedish technology and accounting software group serving SMBs, accounting firms, and public sector. Provides both software tools and outsourced services, competing with ECIB indirectly by enabling clients to self-serve or by partnering with other accounting firms.
• Visma: Major Nordic provider of accounting software, payroll, and business services with extensive SMB reach in Sweden. Combines software and outsourced services, directly competing with ECIB in both dimensions for Swedish SMB clients.

Emerging players

• Bokio: Swedish fintech offering free/low-cost automated accounting and tax filing for small businesses and freelancers. Represents a digital substitute for ECIB's core bookkeeping services, particularly attractive to smaller Bohuslän businesses with simple needs.
• Fortnox: Leading Swedish cloud-based accounting and business software platform for SMBs. Targets the same end customers as ECIB (small businesses needing bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll) but via a software-as-a-service model, representing a substitution threat to ECIB's traditional outsourced accounting service.

Others

• Srf Konsult member firms: ECIB is a member of SRF (Srf konsult), the Swedish professional accounting association that represents many small and mid-sized local accounting firms across Sweden. Peer member firms in neighboring communities compete for Swedish SMB clients with similar service portfolios and REX quality standards.
