Accountants announce acquisition

Dains Accountants has strengthened its presence after announcing the acquisition of another firm.

The company has taken over Barringtons, which has offices across Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Shropshire.

Founded in 1980, Barringtons provides accounting and tax services to owner-managed businesses and individuals.

Richard McNeilly, chief executive of Dains, said: “Barringtons is a well-established and highly credible firm with a high-quality team and client base.

“We have similar values and strongly believe in delivering impressive results for clients and rewarding careers for staff.

“The acquisition builds on our position within the North Midlands marketplace and is the first of several transactions we hope to complete in 2022.”
