What Radek KB does

Rådek KB is a privately held Swedish accounting and auditing firm founded in 1986 by Johan Rudengren and headquartered in Eskilstuna. The firm provides a full portfolio of professional services including audit (Revision), bookkeeping and accounting (Bokföring & Redovisning), strategic business advisory (Rådgivning), tax advisory (Skatt), payroll (Lön), and a specialized agriculture and forestry practice (Jord & Skog) delivered by a dedicated Lantbruksgrupp. With approximately 110 employees distributed across six offices in Södermanland (Eskilstuna, Flen, Katrineholm, Köping, Nyköping, Strängnäs), Rådek primarily serves owner-operated businesses (ägarledda företag) and agricultural/forestry clients in the region.

The firm is structured as a Swedish limited partnership (Kommanditbolag / KB) owned by 12 partners, including the founder. Rådek is an independent member of Baker Tilly Sverige (national) and Baker Tilly International (global), allowing it to deliver cross-border and multi-region engagements without inorganic expansion. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: services are quoted, tailored to client scope ("as much or as little as they need"), and delivered face-to-face. Marketing is anchored on a content-driven Knowledge Bank (Kunskapsbank), seminars/events, and organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn). The firm promotes digital accounting workflows and runs a free digitalization analysis campaign as a lead-generation tool.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. With 110 employees serving SMB clients across multiple service lines, the implied revenue band is roughly SEK 110–165M ($10M–$16M USD). The firm holds no patents, has no API/SDK or mobile applications, and shows no proprietary technology platform — its offering is grounded in partner expertise, sector specialization, and local physical presence rather than software or AI capabilities.
