Accountancy firm expands north of the border

Accountancy and advisory services provider Dains has grown its presence in Scotland with its latest acquisition.

With the support of private equity firm IK Partners, the firm has bought Consilium Chartered Accountants, based in Glasgow, reinforcing its intention to build the leading SME advisory business in Scotland.

The Dains team in Scotland is now almost 200 people strong with offices across the central belt.

Richard McNeilly, chief executive of Dains Group, said: “It is rare that we meet such an enterprising and client-focused leadership team and the opportunities we can create together in Scotland and across the UK and Ireland are substantial.

“We are building a very compelling proposition in Scotland, having previously partnered with William Duncan & Co and Condies.

“Our group comprises over 850 people and we are determined to continue improving the proposition for our clients and the career opportunities for our talented team.”
