Sumer has reached an annual fee income of more than £285m as it marks its third year of operations as a national accountancy group.
The business now comprises 14 regional hubs and more than 70 local offices. It employs 3,000 staff and provides services to 60,000 clients nationwide.
Recent acquisitions include BHP in Yorkshire and Moore Thompson in Lincolnshire. The group has also completed hub-led purchases of MMC, Ramsey Brown, Price Pearson, Jacksons, Argents, and Hartley Fowler.
The group has integrated 44 firms into its structure since 2023. It currently ranks as the 12th largest accountancy practice in the UK.
Management stated the strategy remains focused on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises through local delivery and investment in technology.
Chief executive Warren Mead said: “When we launched Sumer, we set out to build something different; a national firm that genuinely champions community-based organisations, without losing the local relationships that matter most.
“We’ve brought together 14 regional hubs, invested in national infrastructure and technology, and built a platform that allows great local firms to go further, faster, together for our clients. Our growth reflects the quality of the firms joining us, the people within them, and a shared commitment to doing the right thing for clients, colleagues and communities.”
Chief client officer James Taylor added: “Sumer’s model is simple but powerful: local relationships, backed by national capability. Every one of our offices is connected to a wider commercial engine sharing expertise, specialist services and best practice; while remaining deeply embedded in the local markets our clients operate in. That combination is what’s driving our growth, and it’s what sets Sumer apart.”
