Berkshire accountancy firm Wilson Partners has brought Maidenhead counterpart Craufurd Hale - its second acquisition in a fortnight.
The deal takes the Wilson Partners Group to £30m revenue and gives it a headcount of 275 across seven offices. It also means Wilson Partners will benefit from the addition of a specialist US tax service.
Wilson Partners, established in 2008, is an accounting, tax, business advice and corporate finance firm whose clients consist of SMEs, private individuals and private equity investors across London and the south.
It has offices in Maidenhead, Cambridge, Plymouth, Reading, Sevenoaks, Woking and South Africa.
Allan Wilson, Wilson Partners' managing director, said "We’re very excited to join forces with Craufurd Hale and on this occasion, we didn’t need to look far to find a business that is a great fit for ours.
"Having started Wilson Partners in Maidenhead, we know many of the Craufurd Hale team already and it’s great to be bringing another like-minded business on board.
"This latest development gives us an even stronger team on the edge of London and throughout the Thames Valley where we are continuing to see opportunities to compete against the bigger players as we continue to support SME businesses and their owners, giving them the service they deserve."
Daniel Cole, managing director at Craufurd Hale, added: "This is a great move for us and one that enables us to offer a greater breadth of services to our clients and opportunities for our staff, as well as being part of a forward thinking, ambitious larger organisation with a similar culture.
"Of course, being on their doorstep helps, but the rationale for joining forces is far reaching."
Wilson Partners took investment in 2021 to accelerate its ambitions, and since then, has acquired seven businesses and seen revenues grow almost seven times.
