Market intelligence built from Norwegian and Swedish company accounts: figures you can put in front of a board or an investor, a way to track the market your portfolio sits in, and — for the Norwegian market — a deep specialism in auditing, accounting and the legal profession that exists nowhere else.
Each draws on its own sources. The Market Intelligence module reads filed company accounts; the auditor, accountant and legal modules add the registers and assignment histories that describe who works for whom, and how that changes.
Define the market you actually compete in — in Norway or in Sweden — then examine it as closely as you would examine one company.
The Norwegian audit market as it moves: who holds which clients, where the work is going, and which companies are about to need an auditor.
The same portfolio view for Norwegian accounting firms: who serves whom, how that has changed, and where a practice is growing.
The Norwegian legal market: law firms’ own filed accounts, and the lawyer register’s record of who is registered where — advokater, trainees and the other licence types.
A logical bottom-up process: define the market, satisfy yourself that it is clean, then read it. Each step builds on the one before, which is why they are laid out in this order — though nothing stops you working the way you prefer.
Start from a company or from criteria. Filter by industry, county, revenue, employees. Add or remove companies by hand. Companies that have since closed stay in the years they traded, so history is not quietly rewritten by today’s survivors.
Before you read a single chart, OysterQ flags what would distort it: a company larger than the rest combined, a margin far outside the group, a year that breaks a company’s own pattern, a filing that looks like a unit error. Exclude them, see the effect, put them back.
Revenue and earnings from 2010 (Norway) and 2015 (Sweden) to the present, cost structure, working capital, returns and capital. Every figure on a standard or group accounts basis, switched with one control. Compare the company against the rest of the market, or look at the market alone.
Work alongside your colleagues on the platform. OysterQ keeps the reports current, with data collected daily.
Figures are easy to come by. Value is created only when they become insight you can act on. OysterQ is built by people who have spent too many hours searching for those answers themselves — and who know what it is worth to have them in minutes.
Everything in OysterQ is built from public Nordic sources. No figure is estimated or adjusted by us: what you see is what the company filed.
OysterQ is sold to advisers, auditors, accountants, investors and business leaders, among others. If you have an account, sign in. If not, get in touch!
