Moore and Smalley makes healthcare swoop

LANCASHIRE accountancy firm Moore and Smalley has boosted its footprint in the East Midlands with the acquisition of a Nottingham practice.

Like Moore and Smalley Dean Burrows Stevenson specialises in serving the healthcare sector.

DBS, which was established in 2003, is a member of the Association of Independent Specialist Medical Accountants.

Preston-based Moore and Smalley already has an office in Castle Donington, Derbyshire, and this deal will double its client base in the region.

Deborah Wood, partner and head of Moore and Smalley’s specialist healthcare team, said: “Dean Burrows Stevenson’s medical niche and its strong client base make this an excellent strategic acquisition for Moore and Smalley that will complement our existing expertise in the healthcare sector.

“Organisations working in healthcare are required to comply with unique financial regulations and requirements, so we are naturally delighted to boost our expertise in this area.”
