Dains Accountants has announced the acquisition of HSKSG in a move that propels them towards becoming one of the Top 30 firms in the UK.
HSKSG is one of the most respected accountancy firms in the East Midlands, with offices in Nottingham, Derby and Uttoxeter. The business has grown consistently in recent years, buoyed by a commitment to the use of technology, alongside high quality personal and tailored relationships.
Richard McNeilly, CEO of Dains said ‘We have followed the progress of HSKSG for several years and it became increasingly clear that their approach to client delivery and people development closely aligned to ours. As a long-established firm in the East Midlands, we believe they are ideal partners to support our continued growth in the Midlands’.
Colin Peacock, Managing Director of HSKSG believes the transaction provides the business with an improved client proposition and potential for growth and commented “We have continued to invest in our target markets and in our team in recent years and we have always been determined to deliver the best possible service to our loyal clients. By joining the Dains Group, our ability to deliver an even broader range of services is enhanced and we look forward to joining the Dains team on this incredibly exciting journey”.
Luke Kingston, Partner at Horizon Capital, said “We are delighted to have supported Richard and Dains on their fifth acquisition and welcome the fantastic team at HSKSG into the Group. This is another exciting addition to the Group which has more than doubled since we first invested, and we look forward to this strong momentum continuing’.
