Accountancy firm expands with 'milestone' takeoverAn accountancy and business advisory firm has expanded with a takeover. Burgess Hodgson has bought Spain Brothers. Bosses say the move marks “another important milestone” in Kent-based Burgess Hodgson’s growth, adding it has created “an even broader advisory business”. Founded almost 150 years ago, Spain Brothers works with individuals and owner-managed businesses across accountancy, tax, audit and business advice. The deal follows Burgess Hodgson’s partnership with Abry Partners, and was supported by law firm Hill Dickinson’s Shantanu Sinha and Elizabeth Roberts.
