Mergers

Our coverage on Mergers provides comprehensive reporting on consolidation trends within the UK accountancy sector, highlighting strategic mergers and acquisitions that reshape the professional landscape. Accountancy Today examines significant transactions, such as the formation of Affinia through the merger of seven regional firms, and MHA’s acquisition of Baker Tilly’s operations in Cyprus and Greece. We also analyse private equity investment driving consolidation, including Cinven’s majority stake in Grant Thornton UK and the potential £800 million sale of Xeinadin.
