BOKS International UK member firm TC Group’s rapid growth continues apace following a merger with London-based practice, Berley Chartered Accountants, a well-respected independent firm in the West End.

This latest merger again proves TC to be the fastest-growing accountancy practice in the country, as they further expand their presence in London.

Last year, TC entered the accountancy Top 40 in the UK, having jumped 14 places to 34. TC also recently became the first UK accountancy firm in the country to offer a full range of investment, mortgage, legal and HR advice.

Founded in 1985 by partners, Mark Levy and Jeremy Berman, Berley is a chartered accountancy practice that specialises in business growth advice. Both Mark and Jeremy are optimistic that the expanded operation will enable more rapid growth and are excited by offering their clients a greater range of services.

Mark Levy, partner at Berley, comments “Over recent years we have been approached by a number of interested parties. It was very important to us to find the right firm moving forward to merge with not only for our clients but also for our staff. We have known TC for nearly 4 years and realised they have been very successful in growing where others have failed. By keeping the DNA of the firms they merge with intact which is fundamental. We are very excited about the opportunities this will create for all concerned.”

Tim Saxton and David Leigh, partners at TC Group, says: ‘Berley has a well-established reputation across London and further afield. This merger provides a significant boost to our London operation and for servicing clients right across the Capital. It reflects perfectly our strategy of seeking progressive firms with whom to merge and grow. We are also very grateful to WJP Brokerage Limited who recognised the potential for this merger and made the initial introduction.’
