MB Funds to support the growth of Gallant

Gallant Group was established in 2019 when Tuomas Tahvanainen and Max Gylling combined their families’ long-established accounting firms. Since then, Gallant Group has grown in Finland both organically and through acquisitions and, most recently, expanded into the Netherlands in 2025 through the acquisition of Broadstreet. Gallant Group’s ambition is to build a modern and international financial administration services company that combines personalised advisory service, a broad service offering and proprietary technology solutions leveraging AI and automation.

Gallant Group consists of Gallant in Finland and Broadstreet in the Netherlands. Gallant provides companies with financial administration, payroll, HR and professional advisory services, and employs approximately 200 professionals. Broadstreet is a professional services firm specialising in international taxation, payroll and financial services, serving particularly internationally operating companies in the Netherlands. Together, the companies form a growing international professional services group serving customers in both Finland and the Netherlands.

”Gallant has built a strong position in the Finnish financial administration services market and has taken determined steps towards international expansion. We were impressed by the company’s entrepreneurial management team, broad service offering and ambitious approach to leveraging AI to develop its services and modernise the way it serves its customers. Our aim is to support Gallant Group’s growth in new markets through acquisitions and the continued development of its services,” says Kimmo Vanne, Managing Partner of MB Funds.

With the support of MB Funds, Gallant Group plans to invest strongly in international growth, the development of AI-enabled technology solutions, and the further development of its operations. Growth will be pursued both organically and through acquisitions. At the same time, the company will continue to strengthen its in-house AI and technology capabilities to enable more efficient, proactive and value-adding customer service. Its proprietary technology solutions will also enable the effective use of AI to create greater value for customers.

”This marks a significant step forward for Gallant. Partnering with MB Funds gives us additional resources to develop our services, strengthen our capabilities and invest in technology. For our customers, this will mean an even broader range of services and a stronger ability to support their businesses at different stages of development. At the same time, we will continue to provide the personal and approachable service that has always been important to Gallant,” says Tuomas Tahvanainen, CEO of Gallant Group.

Closing of the transaction is subject to customary competition authority approval.
