Another aquisition by Grantham accountants

Duncan & Toplis has expanded into Derbyshire with the acquisition of Underwood Green.

The deal sees the Pride Park-based accountants join the accountancy and business advisory firm as Duncan & Toplis continues its acquisition spree.

All Underwood Green staff, including directors Gary Underwood and Richard Green, will stay with the company and continue operating from its current location.

Damon Brain, CEO of Duncan & Toplis, said: “This is a very exciting time for Duncan & Toplis, as it is the first time our group will have an office in Derbyshire. We’ve supported clients in Derby and Derbyshire for many years but, with the acquisition of Underwood Green, we’ll be welcoming a fantastic new team who are based in the city.

“Gary, Richard and the Underwood Green team have a terrific reputation in the area and we’re two very like-minded businesses. I’m looking forward to welcoming all team members to Duncan & Toplis and providing them with great career opportunities, at the same time as taking great care of clients they love working with.

“We want to continue to grow and expand the team at our new location in Derby, particularly our tax advisory team, and are looking for talented individuals to join us.”

Grantham-based Duncan & Toplis has locations across Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, North London and now Derbyshire.

The latest expansion follows Duncan & Toplis’ recent acquisition of North London-based ALG.

Gary Underwood, director and co-founder of Underwood Green said: “Joining forces with Duncan & Toplis – one of the largest accounting and business advisers in the UK – is a great opportunity for us and our clients. Being a part of Duncan & Toplis, we’ll be able to offer a wider range of services and even greater support.”

Richard Green, director and co-founder of Underwood Green said: “Becoming a part of Duncan & Toplis is a thrilling step for us – their values and ambition align closely with our own. We’re excited about the incredible benefits this will bring, for our clients and for our team, who will gain fresh opportunities to grow within an ambitious and fast-growing group.”
