Midlands-based accountancy firm Ballards has acquired Smart Accountancy Solutions Ltd Worcester, a move it said reinforces its presence in the city and the wider Worcestershire and West Midlands areas.
Smart Accountancy Solutions, established in 2009, provides professional, enduring solutions rooted in a personalised approach.
Ballards, which employs more than 150 people across the Midlands, said taking the firm on board will boost its service provision for owner-managed businesses and SMEs through deeper senior-level expertise and direct advisory support.
Following the acquisition, Smart Accountancy Solutions founder Mark Smith will become a partner at Ballards, which the firm said strengthens its commitment to a client-led philosophy and long-term continuity.
Smith said: “This is an exciting next step for both our team and our clients. Ballards reputation, breadth of services, and collaborative culture made this a natural fit. Our clients will benefit from greater access to specialist expertise while continuing to receive the personal, trusted advice they have always valued. I am proud to become an equity partner and to contribute to Ballards’ continued success.”
Ballards CEO James Syree added: “Welcoming Mark and his team into Ballards reflects our continued growth and our commitment to investing in Worcestershire and the wider Midlands. As a company of over 150 people, we have the scale to offer deep technical expertise while remaining true to our relationship driven approach.
“Mark’s appointment as equity partner further strengthens our ability to deliver accessible, senior level advice to clients. We remain focused on helping businesses grow, adapt, and succeed.”
