This acquisition is part of Blick Rothenberg’s growth and acquisition strategy and is another step forward for CogitalGroup and its plans to build a technology driven, international advisory business. It further strengthens the group’s presence in the owner managed business (OMB) sector.

Lynton Stock, Senior Partner and Head of Tax at Shelley Stock Hutter, said: “This opportunity is the start of an exciting new phase for our practice. At a time when the profession is changing so rapidly, the ability to expand our service offering for clients and benefit from the investment being made by CogitalGroup is perfectly timed.”
He added: “Both firms have built excellent reputations in their respective markets and this partnership will provide opportunities to build on our current strengths and offer existing and new clients a broader and relevant service offering both now and into the future.”
