Streets Accountants has announced that it has merged with Stevens and Willey, a firm based in Barnstaple, near Exeter.
The merger sees Stevens and Willey become part of Streets, and extends Streets’ network of offices even further into Devon.
It will also add to its growing number of offices nationally and reinforces its commitment to being local in presence, but national in capability.
Amanda Hicks, partner at Stevens and Willey, 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. Stevens and Willey was originally founded 70 years ago as a local practice focused on supporting the needs of local businesses and community in North Devon.
“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. Our team is equally excited about the future as they now have a greater opportunity to learn from a multidisciplinary group of professionals, progress their careers locally, and collaborate with like-minded colleagues who share a clear purpose and vision.”
Paul Tutin, chairman and managing partner at Streets, added: “We are delighted to welcome Amanda, Ian, Helen, Jo and Andrew and the entire team to Streets. Their well-established presence in North Devon 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 Stevens and Willey 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.”
It comes just weeks after Fitpro Financial Limited joined Streets, with the new combined firm becoming known as Streets (Belfast) Limited.
