Takeover equals growth for accountancy firm

A professional services firm has expanded with a takeover.

Pierce Business Advisory & Accountancy Group has bought Anthony Marshall Ltd.

Officials say the move for the Bury-based operator marks “another important step” in Blackburn-based Pierce’s North West growth story.

Under the terms of the deal, the firm’s existing team and offices will remain in place.

Jimmy King, Pierce chief executive, said: “Anthony Marshall Ltd is a practice with an excellent reputation, built on trust, community connection and genuine care for its clients. 

“Those values mirror our own, and this acquisition is very much about people – supporting staff, protecting client relationships and continuing to deliver outstanding service.

“We are delighted to welcome Anthony and his team.”

Anthony added: “I am incredibly proud of what we have built and the relationships we have formed with our clients. 

“Joining Pierce allows us to preserve that personal, community-focused approach while giving our clients and team access to broader expertise and opportunities.”

Pierce has further offices in Bolton and Manchester.
