Visma takes over Berlin start-up Buchhaltungs-Butler

With the support of the Norwegian software group, Buchhaltungs-Butler aims to become the market leader in Germany.

The Norwegian software group Visma is taking over the Berlin-based start-up Buchhaltungs-Butler. The takeover gives the software group a presence in Germany for the first time. Buchhaltungs-Butler will remain independent as a company and intends to benefit from Visma's market knowledge.

"Thanks to Visma, we now have the expertise and clout of one of Europe's largest software houses in the field of financial management software," says Maximilian Zielosko, co-founder of Buchhaltungs-Butler. He founded the start-up in 2015 together with Konrad Nerger. The Berlin-based software provider has developed accounting solutions for small companies with up to 30 employees. With the help of the cloud-based software, the start-up's customers are able to automate their accounting processes.

"Buchhaltungs-Butler has a first-class product and a high level of customer satisfaction - factors that are very important to us at Visma," says Merete Hverven, CEO of Visma. The software group would like to support the start-up in its future growth.
