Alder, a growing Finnish advisory firm, and Svalner, the leading Swedish independent advisory firm in the field of tax and transaction services, are excited to announce joining forces in an ambition to form a new leading Nordic advisory group – the Svalner Group.
Operating from strategic locations in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsinki, and Turku, the Svalner Group employs a combined workforce of 175 professionals committed to delivering high-end advisory across the Nordic countries. By leveraging a strong local presence and complementary capabilities, the group will be able to provide comprehensive and tailored solutions at the highest level in tax, transaction and related advisory services to clients across the Nordic region.
“We are thrilled to be joining forces with Alder and thereby create a leading Nordic advisory services group”, said Viktor Sandberg, CEO at Svalner Group. “This union represents a significant milestone for both companies and sets the stage for us to enhance our joint service offerings, expand our reach, seek rapid growth, and drive greater impact for our clients.”
Kicking off operations in Finland and Sweden, two countries with shared history and strong cultural and economic ties, the group will seek to expand its reach across the Nordics and potentially into Northern Europe.
“We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we embark on this joint journey with Svalner”, said Petteri Rapo, Managing Partner at Alder. ”By combining our strengths and capabilities, we are well-positioned to create a strong and dynamic organization that will seek to challenge the more established industry players and lead the way in driving success for our clients and people.“
The new group will for the time being operate under the existing brand names Svalner and Alder in their respective markets. Svalner Group remains focused on fostering an environment that values its talented team of professionals, providing them with opportunities for growth and development within an international and dynamic corporate setting. For clients, Svalner Group signifies the creation of a stronger, more versatile partner for clients, capable of addressing the evolving challenges of today’s business landscape.
