The beginning of Basico!

When they got a chance of developing business-minded outsourcing of Finance, they initiated a focused partnership within the framework of Arthur Andersen. The department instantly grew, and when Arthur Andersen merged with Deloitte in 2002, it had become the largest department in the company.

As the merger of the two cultures was falling into place, Nicolai and Jacob realised, however, that the market needed an independent supplier of CFO Services: a new player in the market focused on making the support functions successful.

They had a desire to be the very best at supporting the support functions and to be known for hands-on deliveries on projects together with the customer – driven by consultants with experience from the CFO’s engine room.

In 2003, the foundation stone was laid, and Nicolai and Jacob created Basico with the following as the fundamental principles:

Business focus is still on making the support functions successful and supporting the CFO and Finance. Much has happened since the beginning in 2003, and, today, Basico has six service lines which, together, support a wider part of our customers’ support functions: Basico – Beyond Business Support.

Basico has created a solid position in the market for itself and is rated highly by its customers. Actually so much that the unique team of dedicated consultants who represent Basico is rapidly increasing and is now made up of 14 partners and more than 200 consultants.

A growth adventure that is supported by a solid backbone in the form of Basico’s own support function with employees who are working hard behind the lines every day to make the engine room run.
