Major accountancy merger creates £110m national firm
Leading business advisory and accountancy firms Menzies LLP and Beever and Struthers today announced their merger, creating a national firm with a combined fee income of £110m and a workforce of more than 1,000 professionals.
This strategic union brings together two proudly independent firms with deep roots in their respective markets; Menzies, headquartered in London, and Beever and Struthers in Manchester. Both firms share a commitment to partner-led service, people-first values, and long-term client relationships, making this merger a natural fit in a rapidly evolving professional landscape.
With a combined national footprint of offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and across the South East, the new entity significantly expands its regional reach and sector strength. The merger enhances Menzies’ position as a full-service firm and brings in Beever and Struthers’ expertise across the not-for-profit, education, and social housing sectors – where the firm is widely recognised as the UK’s leading auditor to the social housing sector.
Founded in 1912, Menzies delivers a full range of accountancy and advisory services, including audit, tax, accounts advisory, financial planning, and transaction support. With specialisms spanning ten key sectors, Menzies works with a diverse client base ranging from fast-growth businesses to complex corporates and high-net-worth individuals.
In addition to the full range of accountancy and advisory services, Beever and Struthers brings an established reputation in audit, assurance, and strategic advisory services to housing providers, public sector bodies, educational institutions, and social enterprises across the UK. Its integration strengthens the combined firm’s public sector credentials and social impact capabilities at a national scale.
Maria Hallows, executive partner, 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.”
Caroline Monk, Executive Partner, Beever and Struthers, added: “In a market where consolidation is often driven by private equity, this merger stands apart. It is rooted in shared independence, cultural alignment, and a mutual commitment to delivering lasting value and service excellence.”
Simon Massey, managing partner, Menzies LLP, said: “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.”
Together, Menzies LLP and Beever and Struthers are uniquely positioned to deliver tailored, forward-thinking solutions to clients across both the public and private sectors with the scale, depth, and agility to meet the demands of tomorrow’s business and regulatory landscape.
