Wilson Partners has partnered with cloud accounting provider Iplicit to overhaul its finance function ahead of a planned expansion.
The firm aims to double its annual turnover to £60m within two years through a mix of organic growth and acquisitions. It has selected Iplicit to provide a centralised platform capable of supporting its “multi-entity structure and growth trajectory”.
Founded in 2008, Wilson Partners generates annualised revenue of £32m. It operates across several regions in England, offering accounting, tax and advisory services through more than 10 legal entities currently managed using a basic cloud accounting system.
According to Wilson Partners, the move to Iplicit will allow the firm to manage all entities from a single platform, improving consolidations, reporting, and automation.
The system is also expected to streamline approval processes and remove the need for manual spreadsheet-based consolidations.
Iplicit serves over 43,000 daily users in more than 3,000 organisations and it focuses on supporting organisations transitioning from legacy, on-premises systems or outgrowing entry-level solutions.
Its platform is aimed at midmarket firms seeking cloud-based functionality without the cost or complexity of enterprise-grade alternatives.
Iplicit reported 113% year-on-year revenue growth in 2024 and raised £25m from technology investor One Peak in January 2025. The funding is being used to support product development and expand its partner network.
Additionally, earlier in 2025, Iplicit launched Client Manager, a central administration tool designed to help accountancy firms manage multiple midmarket clients.
Chris Wilson, director at Wilson Partners, said: “We’ve been in discussions with Iplicit about its tech for some time now and decided it was well-equipped to address our own needs as an accountancy practice. As a multi-entity practice, it will enable us to build a robust finance function ready to support our ambitious growth plans over the coming years.
“Having outgrown our entry-level set up we needed a futureproofed cloud solution that could manage everything in one place. Iplicit ticked all the boxes, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it will complement our finance team.”
Lyndon Stickley, chief executive at Iplicit, added: “The Wilson Partners relationship highlights an interesting shift we’re noticing within the accountancy sector. To date, we’ve mainly partnered with leading practices to deliver solutions for their diverse portfolios of SME clients. However, we’re now noticing an increasing demand from the firms themselves, for a suitable midmarket solution.
“As these practices continue to scale, often through private equity and acquisition of smaller entities, they are recognising the need to move on from the entry-level solutions they started out with. We’re excited to be part of this growth journey for Wilson Partners through our technology, and we’ll also be the underpinning of many other leading practices with similar growth trajectories.”
