Accountancy firm Streets has expanded into Northern Ireland following a merger with Fitpro Financial Limited.
The deal, which took effect on 31 May 2025, sees Fitpro Financial become part of Streets, with the newly combined practice operating as Streets (Belfast) Limited.
It marks the first time Streets has established a presence in Northern Ireland.
The merger comes alongside a rebrand and updated visual identity for Streets, which has grown to include more than 30 offices across the UK.
According to Streets, the changes reflect its evolution into a multi-disciplinary partnership serving clients nationally while maintaining local connections.
Streets Law, the firm’s legal services arm, advised on corporate aspects of the deal, working alongside internal tax and audit teams.
James Gibson, Fitpro Financial director, said: “We see the merger as a great match, both in terms of client focus and cultural fit, and we made the decision to merge the firm with Streets because we believe it is in the best interests of everyone – clients and staff especially.
“Fitpro Financial was originally founded as a practice tailored to the growing fitness industry in the UK. As time has progressed the growth we have seen in other sectors like construction and manufacturing requiring in-depth advisory work has seen our firm expand.”
He added: “As part of a wider, thriving practice, we can confidently promise greater continuity of service to our clients alongside a wider range of services, which includes areas of specialist tax planning and personal financial planning.”
Paul Tutin, chairman and managing partner at Streets, concluded: “We are delighted to welcome James and his team to Streets. Their well-established presence in Northern Ireland aligns perfectly with our strategic vision for embedding offices across the UK, and the merger complements our growing number of regional offices.
“We see great synergy and shared values in the way Fitpro Financial supports its clients, and it is especially pleasing that we can build on this strong local reputation while offering broader advisory services and greater opportunities for growth.”
