BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE THE FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS
Strong relationships are at the heart of the Pierce approach to business advice and the wide range of accountancy services it offers.
And there is no doubt that growing and nurturing those relationships is a quality needed more than ever as companies in all sectors work to overcome the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The practice is no stranger to challenging economic times. It was founded in 1929 – the year of the Wall Street crash, with all the difficulties that brought to businesses then.
Today as our businesses face new and unprecedented challenges, the Pierce team continues to combine high standards of service, pro-active advice and a wide range of expertise – strong foundations that the company has built its reputation on.
A year on from a successful management buyout, the proudly independent Blackburn-headquartered firm continues to widen its expertise for the benefit of its growing client base.
Managing director Jimmy King was involved in last year’s MBO along with directors Ben Smith, Simon Diggle, Tom Wilkinson and Lisa Kennery. It has been 12 months of strong and positive development.
Now, as the business continues on its growth path, Pierce has made a key senior appointment. Kevin Steven joins the team as director of corporate finance, bringing with him a wealth of experience and know- how in the sector.
The appointment comes as Pierce records its best ever year in terms of fees. The practice has clients in all sectors and of all sizes, though the bulk of its work is with businesses with between £1m and £20m turnover –companies that are the backbone of the UK and the Lancashire economy.
Jimmy says: “The MBO came about as the existing partners were looking for a succession plan. The timing was right and given our integral knowledge of the client base and the opportunity before us, we were delighted to do the deal.
Supporting and helping SMEs is our central role, it is what we do well
“As a result, we remain an independent firm and that is really important to us, our team and our clients. It is who we are.
“We remain based and rooted in east Lancashire, which is our home, but we have clients across the county, the wider North West and nationwide, we grow as our clients succeed.
