SBP Accountants & Business Advisers (SBP) is expanding its presence across the North-east by joining forces with established Inverurie firm BW Accounting.
The move will see SBP welcome around 300 businesses and individuals to its client base, strengthening its presence in Aberdeenshire and extending its wider accountancy and business advisory offering to clients across Inverurie and the surrounding area.
Based at 25A Market Street, the established BW Accounting business will become part of SBP, combining its strong local relationships and knowledge with the expertise and resources of SBP, which now operates across five locations in the North-east of Scotland.
Colin Webster, founder of BW Accounting, will remain as Client Manager, ensuring continuity for long-standing clients while giving them access to SBP’s wider team and specialist services. Rhys Jones, who joined SBP earlier this year as Senior Manager, will lead the Inverurie team, bringing more than 20 years’ experience across the finance and accountancy sector, including 14 years with Aberdeen-based Hall Morrice.
John Hannah, Managing Partner at SBP, said: “Inverurie is a natural next step for SBP. Joining forces with BW Accounting allows us to build on an established local business while retaining the relationships and personal service its clients value.
“We’re excited to bring our wider expertise and full-service offering to more businesses in Inverurie and the surrounding area, while becoming an active part of the local business community.”
Clients will have access to SBP’s comprehensive accountancy and business advisory services, including accounts, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax, alongside specialist expertise across the wider firm.
SBP has also joined We Are Inverurie BID, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the local business community and contributing to the continued growth and development of the town.
Colin Webster said: “Joining SBP is an exciting new chapter for the business and our clients. It gives them access to a broader range of services and expertise while maintaining the local support and relationships they know and trust. SBP shares our values and approach, making this the right fit for the future.”
The expansion marks another milestone for SBP, which has supported businesses and individuals across the North-east for more than 50 years. Founded in 1975, the firm has locations in Aberdeen, Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Banff and recently launched a refreshed brand and value proposition: “Simplifying Business for People.”
Further recruitment is planned as the Inverurie team grows, creating opportunities for local talent and reinforcing SBP’s commitment to developing its people and being an employer of choice.
