Huddersfield based Accounting & Business Advisory, Sheards, have merged into the SMH Group, allowing the established firm to offer even more services to their clients, backed by the strength of the Yorkshire and Derbyshire based group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The firm, now named SMH Sheards<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, continues to operate from their office in Huddersfield, with all the team remaining unchanged.<\/p>\n

The SMH Group boasts a comprehensive suite of additional business and personal financial services, spanning accountancy, financial guidance, commercial finance, Wills & Probate, and mortgage advice, serving businesses and individuals across the region.<\/p>\n

Carolyn Atkinson and Kevin Winterburn from Sheards said:<\/strong> \u201cAfter 121 years of being an independent firm, we are delighted to be strengthening our future and enhancing the services we can offer to our clients.\u00a0 We are looking forward to working with the SMH Group whilst retaining our high standard of service. We remain the friendly face of accountancy in the Huddersfield area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathon Dickens<\/a>, Partner at the SMH Group: <\/strong>“We are thrilled to announce the merger of Sheards into the SMH Group, marking a significant milestone for both firms, and increasing the overall head count within the group to over 150 staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis strategic alliance not only ensures long-term stability for the firm, but also offers a range of value-added services available to clients of Sheards. Furthermore, it enhances our expansion into West Yorkshire, as the SMH Group continues its aim of becoming the go to professional services firm in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

SMH Group and Sheards Accounting & Business Advisory extend their thanks to CMP Legal<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and Ramsdens Solicitors<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for their invaluable guidance and expertise throughout the legal proceedings of this deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
