KONTI AS

What KONTI AS does

KONTI AS is a Norwegian accounting firm headquartered in Ølen with additional offices in Haugesund and Stord, operating as an independent entity since an April 2023 management buyout from Cegal. The company provides traditional accounting, payroll, tax, advisory, and consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses across Western Norway, while also operating ePortal — a proprietary cloud-based industry ERP launched in 2005 and now used by 80+ companies nationwide. ePortal is specifically designed for Norwegian energy and infrastructure operators (power utilities, grid companies, fiber networks, water and sewage utilities) and bundles accounting, payroll, project management, CRM, time tracking, inventory, work orders, HMS, and automated regulatory reporting (eRapp for the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, NVE) into a single SaaS platform.

The platform is built on Visma Business/NXT as the primary economic system and integrates with field-work systems (Trimble, Digpro) and AI-driven invoice automation (Semine), enabling seamless data exchange between operational systems and the general ledger. Konti has embedded its own generative AI layer, KAI (Konti AI), throughout ePortal modules to generate corrective-action suggestions, design checklists, produce project status reports, and create meeting follow-up tasks. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly subscriptions covering both outsourced accounting/payroll services and ePortal SaaS licenses, supplemented by project-based consulting, tax and annual reporting fees, and emergency preparedness retainers. The business runs on a sales-led, relationship-driven GTM motion with a team of approximately 10 employees across three regional offices, and holds authorized accounting firm (Autorisert regnskapsbyrå) certification in Norway.

Notable commercial relationships include a long-standing co-development partnership with technology firm JHL AS (since 2005, instrumental in the post-buyout independence), a Deloitte collaboration for legal and audit advisory, and named enterprise customer Telemark Energi, which selected ePortal for its integration with Trimble via a joint operations center with Skagerak Energi.
