Acquisitive accountancy BK Plus swoops for Fareham company
Wed, 12 Jun 2024 | BUSINESS SALE
Private equity-backed accountancy and business advisory firm BK Plus has continued its acquisitive growth with a deal for Fareham-based Casson Beckman Chartered Accountants. The acquisition further strengthens BK Plus’ presence in the South East region.
Despite only being founded in 2021, BK Plus has expanded rapidly through acquisitions, with more than 15 practices and nearly 350 members of staff. Headquartered in Walsall, acquisitions have helped the Palatine-backed company establish a presence across the Midlands, South East, North East, Halifax, Stoke, Cornwall and Oldham.
BK Plus Acquisitions Director Ian Gould said that, as well as strengthening its presence in the South East, the deal also " enhances our ability to serve SMEs with expert financial guidance.”
Casson Beckman partners Nikki Nevard and Steve Walter have joined BK Plus following the acquisition. Ian Gould commented on their arrival: “Nikki, Stephen, and their team bring valuable experience and a shared commitment to excellence, and we look forward to working together to deliver outstanding results for our clients.”
Nikki Nevard said that the deal would enable the company to "expand our reach to better serve our clients” and “leverage BK Plus’s resources and expertise while maintaining our commitment to delivering exceptional service locally.”
She continued: " Together, we’re well-positioned to provide comprehensive solutions to clients and support them in achieving their goals.”
Steve Walter added: “We chose BK Plus because they have a similar ethos to us. Personal client service is central to their success so far, and we firmly believe that joining BK Plus is the right strategic decision, both for clients and our great team, all of whom look forward to an exciting future with the merged firm.”
