UK accountancy and advisory company Burgess Hodgson has purchased Wandsworth Consulting, a practice focused on two areas of specialist tax relief- capital allowances and research and development (R&D) tax credits.
Wandsworth Consulting was established in 2014 as a dedicated advisory practice and has worked with organisations from a range of industries.

According to Burgess Hodgson, its senior team brings more than seven decades of combined experience, having previously held senior roles at ‘Big Four’ companies, specialist tax boutiques and international property businesses.
In a statement, Wandsworth said: “Ten years ago, we set out to build a specialist consultancy, focused on delivering quality.
“Wandsworth Consulting takes the next step in this exciting journey and joins Burgess Hodgson, the Kent-based accountancy firm founded in 1938.
“Joining Burgess Hodgson gives us the platform to do that for many more businesses and allows our existing clients to access a broader range of services through an advisor they already trust, including wider tax support alongside audit, accounting and advisory services.”
The company added that it will continue to operate as Wandsworth Consulting.
Burgess Hodgson said the acquisition will give its clients in the South East, London and across the UK direct access to Wandsworth’s specialist knowledge in capital allowances and R&D tax relief.
The move comes after Burgess Hodgson secured an undisclosed investment in June last year from US private equity firm Abry Partners.
The company said Abry’s backing will support its growth. “This acquisition is the first expression of that ambition in practice,” it added in a statement.
