Real-world accountancy M&A experience
No sales targets or external mandates
Dedicated exclusively to accountancy firms
Relationships across the UK market
Prioritising long-term success over quick deals
Accountancy practice sales and acquisitions are rarely straightforward.
For many owners, an accountancy practice represents decades of work, trusted client relationships, dedicated staff, and a significant personal investment.
A successful transition is about more than agreeing a valuation or completing a deal. It is about ensuring the future of the business is placed in the right hands.
TAASC was founded on a simple belief: accountancy practice sales and acquisitions deserve more than convenience. They deserve a process built around finding the right fit.
We work with accountancy firm owners who want to make informed decisions, properly explore their options, and move forward with clarity. Our role is to provide the structure, insight, and experienced guidance needed to achieve an outcome that works both commercially and personally.
Whether you’re buying or selling, the quality of the opportunity often determines the quality of the outcome.
For many owners, selling a practice is not simply a financial transaction. It is a decision about the future of the clients, staff, and relationships they have spent years building.
Whether your priority is retirement, succession planning, protecting staff, maintaining client relationships, preserving your firm’s culture, or maximising value, we help identify buyers who align with your objectives and support the process through to completion.

Nearly a decade specialising in accountancy mergers, acquisitions, and succession planning has given Jamie Fearn a detailed understanding of the challenges facing practice owners.
Jamie’s career has been built around helping people make important decisions. From banking and commercial finance through to business consultancy and specialist accountancy M&A advice, his focus has remained the same: understanding objectives, evaluating opportunities, and helping clients move forward with confidence.
Earlier in life, Jamie represented Great Britain at two Winter Olympic Games, experiences that helped shape the disciplined and methodical approach he brings to his work today.
Since entering the accountancy M&A sector in 2017, Jamie has advised firms across the UK on acquisitions, disposals, succession planning, and strategic growth, supporting well over 100 transactions and maintaining an extensive network of buyers, sellers, and professional relationships across the UK accountancy market.
What clients value most, however, is not simply experience. It is Jamie’s commitment to understanding what success looks like for them before any search, negotiation, or transaction begins.
One of the most important – and often underestimated – stages of any successful transaction is the quality of the search itself.
Rather than relying solely on existing contacts or publicly available opportunities, TAASC conducts a proactive search of the UK accountancy market to identify opportunities aligned with each client’s objectives.
This includes uncovering off-market opportunities that are not publicly listed, as well as engaging with firms and buyers who may not be actively looking but represent strong strategic, cultural, and commercial fits.
This approach helps uncover opportunities that may not be publicly available and ensures every recommendation is based on a broad and carefully considered view of the market.
Successful acquisitions and exits are rarely determined by numbers alone.
While valuation is important, the most successful transactions often depend on factors that are harder to measure. Culture, client relationships, service proposition, geography, growth ambitions, and long-term objectives can all play a significant role in determining whether a transaction remains successful after completion.
That is why TAASC takes a broader view when evaluating opportunities. We look beyond headline figures to identify buyers and acquisition targets that align strategically, commercially, and culturally.
The goal is not simply to complete a transaction. It is to help clients find opportunities that make sense both on paper and in practice.
TAASC is not tied to private equity mandates, consolidator targets, or volume-based commission structures.
This independence allows every recommendation to be based on what is right for the client rather than what is quickest to complete.
Supporting accountancy firm owners through more than 100 transactions has provided valuable insight into what helps deals succeed and where challenges typically arise.
That experience helps inform every search, recommendation, and transaction we support.
Many clients come through referrals, repeat acquisitions, and long-standing professional relationships built over years within the accountancy profession.
These relationships extend across the UK market, including active engagement with buyers and firms at all stages of growth and acquisition activity.
Trust, transparency, and open communication remain central to the way we work.
We believe clients should remain in control of important decisions.
Sellers are not tied into restrictive contracts and remain free to walk away if they do not feel the process is working for them.
Many of our clients come through referrals, repeat acquisitions, and recommendations from previous clients. Here’s what they had to say about working with TAASC.
