Duncan & Toplis, an accounting and business advisory firm in the UK, has acquired North London-based ALG for an undisclosed sum.
This deal, part of Duncan & Toplis’ organisational growth strategy, aims to bolster its capabilities, market presence, team and position in the region.
The transaction has secured full approval from the regulators.
Duncan & Toplis CEO Damon Brain said: “Last year, we began a new era of our company’s history with the launch of our Growing Together strategy.
“Now, this is another exciting step for us and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the start of our centenary year.”
ALG will undergo a rebranding, with all team members, including directors Mark Hilton and Panos Michaelides, retaining their roles.
The ALG team will join the office of Duncan & Toplis in Finchley, which was established in September 2024 after the acquisition of Haines Watts North London.
ALG partner Mark Hilton said: “Becoming a part of Duncan & Toplis presents a fantastic opportunity for our team and our clients.
“We’ll be able to provide an extended range of services and enhanced support, helping our clients realise their potential and thrive.”
Earlier in February 2025, Duncan & Toplis appointed Peter Wilson as its new managing director, with responsibility for leading the financial advice and wealth management team at Castlegate Financial Management.
Wilson’s background includes senior roles at Legal & General Investment Management and Flying Colours Financial Advice, as well as contributions to the UK Financial Capability Strategy.
He takes over from Andy Severn, who will continue to serve the firm as a business services director, managing his client portfolio.
