Bjorn Lunden, backed by Main Capital Partners, acquires Aprello to enhance its financial reporting and tax submission solutions

Bjorn Lunden, Swedish accounting and financial administration software provider, acquires Stockholm-based Aprello AB (“Aprello”). Aprello provides digital tools for annual reporting and tax submission. The acquisition has a strong strategic fit with Bjorn Lunden and is highly complementary to its growth strategy in the European financial administration software market. The acquisition of Aprello represents Bjorn Lunden’s sixth add-on acquisition since Main Capital Partners (“Main”) became a majority investor in July 2021. The combination will enable Bjorn Lunden to advance its offering for both existing and new customers, further strengthening the group’s position in the Nordics and the rest of Europe.

Aprello’s offerings of smart templates, interactive guidance, digital reporting submission and e-signing, integrate well with Bjorn Lunden’s existing solutions, further streamlining the annual reporting process. Aprello serves a wide range of end customers’ specific needs with a customer base spanning both tax and accountancy firms, real estate, as well as SMEs.

Wessel Ploegmakers, Partner and Head of Nordics at Main Capital Partners, commented: “Aprello marks the Bjorn Lunden group’s sixth acquisition, representing a significant step forward in their effort to enhance and simplify financial reporting processes. This milestone reflects the group’s commitment to delivering greater value to both existing and new customers. Bjorn Lunden Group is now well-positioned to solidify its role as a leading European player in cloud-based accounting, ERP, and RegTech solutions for accountants and SMEs.”

Ulf Svensson, CEO at Bjorn Lunden, shares: “We are delighted to welcome the Aprello team to the Bjorn Lunden group. Aprello’s innovative, customer-focused product offering aligns perfectly with Bjorn Lunden’s strategy. This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver a scalable and internationally focused software suite, and we are excited to collaborate in driving the continued growth of our combined presence across the Nordics and Europe.”

Anna Ström-Munke, Founder and CEO at Aprello, concludes: “We are thrilled to join the Bjorn Lunden group. With our shared commitment to customer focus and a clear vision, this presents an incredible opportunity to develop even better products for our customers — empowering them to work the way they want, with tools that truly make a difference.
