Armstrong Watson has acquired the long-standing Settle practice Haworths Chartered Accountants, which will see four Haworths’ staff join the firm from the business’ Town Hall location in Settle’s Market Place.
Armstrong Watson will continue to provide a personalised service to Haworths’ clients, with Armstrong Watson Accounting partner, Rodger Hill, taking the office lead role.
Armstrong Watson said that both firms have a similar ethos and pride themselves on serving family businesses and individuals across the region.
The deal follows four acquisitions for Armstrong Watson in the last 18 months, with the firm expanding in Leeds, Hexham and Carlisle, along with opening a new office in Manchester.
The firm provides advice and services to owner-managed businesses across a number of business sectors, with a “strong” specialism in Agriculture and Hospitality and Tourism.
Richard Andrew, Armstrong Watson partner and head of Accounting, said: “We are delighted to welcome the clients and colleagues of Haworths to Armstrong Watson. This merger combines two firms of similar culture, with complementary practice strengths and sector expertise.
“We hope that by offering an increasing range of specialists and advisers, we will ensure that we continue to provide Haworths’ clients with tailored, proactive support and advice essential for profit and growth.”
