Anderson Anderson & Brown (AAB) has merged with Hardie Caldwell in a deal for an undiscolsed price.
The two accountancy firms reported a combined turnover last financial year of £30m, with an ambition to deliver £50m revenue by 2025.
AAB expects to strengthen its team of 330 staff with further recruitment later this year and confirmed no job losses from either firm as a result of the merger.
The Hardie Caldwell business in Glasgow will be re-branded as AAB immediately.
The two businesses have previously worked in partnership as part of the UK-wide Accelerate association of accounting firms for the last three decades.
Hardie Caldwell partners Angus McCuaig, Douglas Emery and Pauline McGarry will now become partners in the wider group.
McCuaig, who was managing partner of Hardie Caldwell, assumed the role of AAB’s managing partner in Glasgow, having been appointed to the AAB board.
Graeme Allan, chief executive at AAB, said: “This is a fantastic development for both businesses with a shared vision of providing an awesome client experience and supporting our clients’ diverse needs across sectors and geographies.
"The merger provides AAB with a greater geographical footprint and gives us a key presence in Glasgow which will help us realise our growth strategy to 2025 and beyond.”
