Parkins merges into SMH Group
Wickersley-based accountancy firm Parkins has joined SMH Group, one of the region’s leading professional services firms with offices across Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
Parkins has built a strong local reputation over many years, supporting businesses and individuals with practical advice and trusted, long-standing relationships. The firm will now operate as SMH Parkins, continuing to serve clients from its Wickersley office with the same experienced team.
For clients, the transition will be seamless. Day-to-day relationships, points of contact, and service delivery will remain unchanged. The merger provides additional strength behind the scenes, with access to the wider expertise and specialist services available across SMH Group, including commercial finance, corporate finance, financial services, residential mortgages, and wills & probate.
Jonathon Dickens, CEO of SMH Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Parkins into the SMH Group. They have a strong local reputation and share our commitment to providing clear advice and dependable support.
Rotherham is an important part of our regional presence, and this merger further strengthens our position within the local community. With two offices now in Rotherham, we are better placed to support both businesses and individuals with a broader range of expertise, while maintaining the personal, relationship-led service that clients value.”
Rob Parkin, partner at Parkins, added: “Joining SMH Group is a positive step for our firm and our clients. It allows us to retain the personal service and relationships we have built over many years, while gaining access to broader expertise and additional resources.
Our clients can feel reassured that they will continue to deal with the same people, from the same office, with the same focus on quality advice and long-term support.”
This latest merger reflects SMH Group’s continued growth across the region, bringing together strong local firms that share the same commitment to quality advice and long-term client relationships.
