Leading audit, tax and business advisory firm Blick Rothenberg have announced plans to acquire Greenback Alan to further enhance their offering to clients in Japan and the southeast Asia region.
Nimesh Shah, CEO of Blick Rothenberg, said: “I am thrilled to announce our plans to welcome the team from Greenback Alan to Blick Rothenberg, and the amazing opportunity this presents for our people and clients. Blick Rothenberg has a long history of supporting international businesses who wish to establish and invest in the UK, and this will build upon our existing strong offerings for clients headquartered in the East Asian region.”
He added: “Given the unique business culture and practice in Japan, the team from Greenback Alan will be perfectly placed to support Japanese businesses and private clients with an incomparable level of service and insight, while leveraging our wider platform; including 80 years’ history of helping global companies flourish in London.”
Nimesh said: “The coming together of our two leading international teams is our next step to achieving our mission to be recognised as the #1 accountancy and tax advisory firm in London for international inbounds, the UK mid-market and private clients.”
Jon Fisher, deputy managing partner at Greenback Alan, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have found, in Blick Rothenberg, a like-minded firm that understands and so whole-heartedly believes in what we do.”
He added: “Greenback Alan has, over more than 30 years, come to occupy a special place in the UK-Japan landscape in particular, and we are very excited about the prospects this integration will bring both for our team and our clients. The combination of the Greenback Alan team’s cultural understanding with Blick Rothenberg’s existing depth and breadth; and the specialist technical expertise of both firms, will deliver enhanced services of the highest quality, deeper insights, and innovative solutions to meet clients’ and employees’ evolving needs.”
Jon said: “The move to Blick Rothenberg is a natural and empowering phase in the trajectory of the business, and a transformative opportunity for our clients. We are very much looking forward to realising the tremendous potential in the Japanese market and for all our clients.”
