Bentley Jennison acquires Wenham Major Tax Compliance Business

RSM Bentley Jennison, one of the UK’s fastest growing professional services firms, has acquired the core Audit, Accounting and Tax Compliance arm of Top 50 accountancy firm Wenham Major. About 30 of Wenham Major’s employees will transfer to RSM Bentley Jennison’s Birmingham office adding £2m to the firm’s national fee income.

Tony Stockdale, Managing Partner of RSM Bentley Jennison, said: “This is an important acquisition for RSM Bentley Jennison as it further strengthens our position in the Midlands region. Wenham Major is a long established, well respected firm with an excellent client base, and we look forward to serving them as part of our growing portfolio of premium level clients. Clearly, there has been some speculation about some parts of Wenham Major in recent weeks, but the core audit accounts and tax compliance business is strong and credible and we are pleased to be able to integrate this operation into RSM Bentley Jennison.”

Viv Shadbolt, a Director at Wenham Major, added: “We are very happy to become part of RSM Bentley Jennison. In the UK, the firm has an excellent reputation for providing quality services to leading national and local organisations and, as a key part of the RSM International network, it has an exciting international outlook as well.”
