Streets announces Steele Financial merger

Streets Chartered Accountants has announced that it has merged with cloud specialist Steele Financial to create Streets Steele Chartered Certified Accountants.

As a result of the deal Streets will now be able to offer its clients cloud and digital accounting while Steele will be able to offer its services to a wider range of people.

This recent merger comes on the back of an earlier one this year, with Streets Eadie Young in Banbury, Oxfordshire and this time last year Streets Whittles in Colchester, Essex.

In line with its own growth aspirations, Streets also recently opened a new office in Burnley, Lancashire and are currently in talks with a number of practices around further mergers.

With Streets Steele in Bristol, the company now has 23 offices from Burnley in the north to Brighton in the south.

Ben Steele, managing director of Streets Steele, said: “Having started Steele Financial only six years ago we have experienced significant growth and as such, in line with the advice we give our clients, we recognised the need to develop our practice to service growing demand. In particular it would seem our approach to run a true cloud based and digital accountancy practice along with providing clients a virtual finance office, certainly has made us an attractive proposition for many entrepreneurs and businesses alike.

“Recognising the potential, along with the need for us to provide a greater breadth of services, we sought to join up with a larger practice who can not only support us but also support the needs of our clients, now and in the future. We are delighted to say we have found that in Streets Chartered Accountants.”

Paul Tutin, Streets managing partner, added: “We are delighted and excited to have Steele Financial become part of the Streets wide practice. Ben and his team, including fellow Director Ryan Saward, are a truly inspiring practice and have earned an enviable reputation, not just in Bristol, but also in London and further afield, for their progressive approach and innovative use of technology to look after the needs of clients.

“Such an approach has seen them successfully grow a broad client base as well as particular sector specialisms in hospitality, food and drink and media and entertainment. We are looking forward to working with Ben and his team on enhancing and developing a practice wide virtual finance office and our respective sector specialisms.”
