Sheards, the Huddersfield-based Chartered Accountants, have merged into the SMH Group.
Now named SMH Sheards, the firm continues to operate from their office in Huddersfield, with all the team remaining unchanged.
Carolyn Atkinson and Kevin Winterburn from Sheards said: “After 121 years of being an independent firm, we are delighted to be strengthening our future and enhancing the services we can offer to our clients.
“We are looking forward to working with the SMH Group whilst retaining our high standard of service. We remain the friendly face of accountancy in the Huddersfield area.”
Jonathon Dickens, partner at the SMH Group, said: “We are thrilled to announce the merger of Sheards into the SMH Group, marking a significant milestone for both firms, and increasing the overall head count within the group to over 150 staff.
“This strategic alliance not only ensures long-term stability for the firm, but also offers a range of value-added services available to clients of Sheards. Furthermore, it enhances our expansion into West Yorkshire, as the SMH Group continues its aim of becoming the go to professional services firm in the region.”
CMP Legal and Ramsdens Solicitors provided guidance throughout the legal proceedings of the deal.
