‘Defining moment’ as accountancy firms merge

Two accountancy and business advisory firms are joining forces to create a national powerhouse.

Menzies LLP and Beever and Struthers have merged, forming a firm with a combined fee income of £110 million and over 1000 professionals. 

The new entity operates across multiple UK cities including London, Manchester, Birmingham and Cardiff, significantly expanding its regional presence.

Bosses say the merger combines Menzies’ broad accountancy and advisory expertise with Beever and Struthers’ recognised strength in the public sector, particularly social housing, education and not-for-profit sectors.

They add that together, the firms offer an extensive service portfolio ranging from audit and tax to strategic advisory, positioning themselves to meet the evolving needs of both public and private sector clients nationwide.

Maria Hallows, executive partner at Manchester-based Beever and Struthers, said: “This is a pivotal moment for our firm. 

“For our people, it creates exciting opportunities for collaboration, growth, and continued personal development, while preserving the culture and personal touch we’re known for. 

“Our clients will benefit from deeper expertise, broader services, and stronger regional support.”

Simon Massey, managing partner of London-headquartered Menzies LLP, added: “The merger with Beever and Struthers is a defining moment for Menzies. 

“Their reputation in the not-for-profit, education, and social housing sectors is unmatched. 

“This merger enables us to scale with purpose, deepen our sector specialisms, and continue investing in our people, clients and future growth. 

“Together, we’re building a truly national firm that stands out for quality, expertise, and trusted relationships.”
