Ridgefield Consulting, an independent tax and accounting practice, in Oxford has merged with its sister company, Kench & Co in Henley.

Three years ago, Ridgefield MD Simon Thomas acquired Kench & Co from the retiring Eric Kench, but the two practices have remained separate and distinct up to now.

The merger brings together two diverse teams of experts with experience in accounting, taxation and business advisory services across a wide range of industries.

Ridgefield has assured that clients of Kench & Co can expect a ‘seamless transition’.

Simon said: “We’re excited to announce the merger of Kench & Co and welcome their talented team into the Ridgefield Consulting family.

“By combining our strengths and expertise we will be able to deliver exceptional value to our clients across both regions, further solidifying our position as a leader in the accounting industry.”

The Henley office will continue to deliver core tax and accounting services to startups, established businesses, and private individuals, but are now also bolstered by the Oxford team to provide support to SMEs in claiming R&D tax credits.
