Wilson Partners has acquired Rutland-based Max Accountants, further expanding its presence across London, Cambridge, and the South of England.
The deal which took place at the end of February 2025, marks Wilson Partners’ first acquisition of 2025 and its eighth overall, bringing group revenue to £32m and expanding its headcount to nearly 300 professionals.
The deal enhances Wilson Partners’ specialist expertise in early-stage and high-growth technology and life sciences businesses, doubling the size of its dedicated team in this space.
For Max Accountants, its key points of contact remain unchanged, and the way the group works with its clients will continue as before.
Over time, there will be some integration of branding and IT infrastructure, but these will not disrupt day-to-day operations.
Wilson Partners currently operates offices in Maidenhead, Cambridge, Plymouth, Reading, Rutland, Sevenoaks, Woking, and South Africa.
Allan Wilson, managing director at Wilson Partners, said: “This is a very exciting deal for us. With an established presence in Cambridge and a growing team supporting start-ups and high-growth tech firms, bringing the Max Accountants team on board strengthens our ability to provide expert support to these hugely important and dynamic businesses that are shaping the UK economy.”
Sarah Royle and Martin Hickman, Max Accountants’ directors, added: “We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Wilson Partners. With our niche in the start-up and high-growth space, we had a lot of interest from potential partners. However, Wilson Partners’ ambition, SME focus, and people-first culture set them apart – we can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
