Crowe acquires Dendy Neville

Crowe has announced its acquisition of Kent-based accounting firm Dendy Neville, and has welcomed three new partners as part of the move. 

The three new partners are David Hill, Andrew Perkins and Paul Gittins. 

Dendy Neville currently has a team of 18 specialists that provide a range of audit, tax, accounting support and advisory services. 

The acquisition will bolster Crowe’s existing presence in Kent, where it has offices in Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells.  

The two firms have “a strong professional and cultural fit”, with a long working history, having collaborated on a number of projects over more than 20 years. 

Nigel Bostock, CEO of Crowe, said: “This acquisition is an important step in our growth strategy and expands our footprint in the Kent region. It is pleasing to see that Dendy Neville has chosen to partner with Crowe as an alternative to private equity investment, trusting Crowe as the best home for their people and clients going forward.

“Strengthening our regional presence with a team of highly regarded local professionals supplements the strong organic growth we continue to see across the firm.”  

David Hill, director at Dendy Neville, added: “We have worked closely with Crowe Kent for over 20 years and have known some of the Kent partners for much longer. Joining forces with Crowe seemed a natural progression in light of our common commitment to high standards in client support.

“Importantly, joining Crowe offers an enlarged team able to fulfil clients’ needs, and wider service offerings – including corporate finance, corporate recovery, specialist and international tax matters, as well as access to Crowe’s international network of offices.”
