Dains Accountants has announced the acquisition of Barringtons, which has offices across Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Shropshire.
Founded in 1980, Barringtons is a highly regarded provider of accounting and tax services to owner-managed businesses and individuals. Richard McNeilly, CEO of Dains, said “Barringtons is a well-established and highly credible firm with a high-quality team and client base. We have similar values and strongly believe in delivering impressive results for clients and rewarding careers for staff. The acquisition builds on our position within the North Midlands marketplace and is the first of several transactions we hope to complete in 2022”.
Dains recently recorded another record year for the business and had its prestigious Investors in People Gold Standard reconfirmed which recognises the company’s commitment to people and the key role they play at the heart of the firm’s success. This follows the recent investment from Horizon Capital in 2021.
