Beever and Struthers and Menzies LLP merge to form a leading national force in accountancy and business advisory services

Leading business advisory and accountancy firm Beever and Struthers, which has an office in Blackburn, has merged with Menzies LLP creating a national firm with a combined fee income of £110m.

It will bring 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.

Details of merger has been undisclosed.

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.

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.”

Founded in 1912, Menzies delivers a full range of accountancy and advisory services, including audit, tax, accounts advisory, financial planning, and transaction support. 

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.

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.
