About us

ECIT is one of the largest IT and finance groups in the Nordics, with more than 3,300 employees and a revenue of more than NOK 5 billion in annual basis. Our expertise, size, and Nordic roots provide us with the solid foundation needed to help businesses manage and optimize the most essential aspects of their operations in finance, IT, and business solutions.

What sets ECIT apart from similar companies is both our history and our commitment to the local communities in which we operate. ECIT is driven by entrepreneurs, and part of ECIT is owned by its subsidiaries and the entrepreneurs behind them. It is our local ownership and ties to regional markets that form the core of ECIT-and that is something we are proud of. We have dedicated leaders and employees who work every day to deliver the highest value to our customers.

We care about helping our people grow.

ECIT remains a young company with ambitious growth plans, and as one of our employees, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape our future growth.

ECIT provides services in three main areas: finance, including accounting, payroll, and advisory services; IT, with a focus on outsourcing, hosting, and security; and tech/software solutions for finance, payroll, and office support. Every business deals with IT and finance in one way or another, and by combining IT and finance, we make it easier for our customers to run forward-thinking companies.
