Wilson Partners, a UK-based provider of accounting, tax, and corporate finance services, has acquired Rutland-based Max Accountants.
This acquisition further expands the firm’s presence in London, Cambridge, and the South of England.
The deal, Wilson Partners’ first of 2025 and its eighth overall, will boost the firm’s revenue to £32m ($41m) and increase its workforce to nearly 300 employees.
Additionally, the deal will double the size of its team focused on early-stage and high-growth technology and life sciences businesses.
Max Accountants director’s Sarah Royle and Martin Hickman said: “We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Wilson Partners.
“With our niche in the start-up and high-growth space, we had a lot of interest from potential partners. However, Wilson Partners’ ambition, SME focus, and people-first culture set them apart – we can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
Since securing investment in 2021, Wilson Partners has pursued a growth strategy, partnering with eight firms and growing revenues sevenfold.
Currently, the firm operates offices in Cambridge, Maidenhead, Plymouth, Reading, Rutland, Sevenoaks, Woking, and also South Africa.
Wilson Partners managing director Allan Wilson said: “This is a very exciting deal for us. With an established presence in Cambridge and a growing team supporting start-ups and high-growth tech firms, bringing the Max Accountants team on board strengthens our ability to provide expert support to these hugely important and dynamic businesses that are shaping the UK economy.”
