Clere’s Accountants in Birmingham has provided a personalised service for owner-managed businesses and individuals since 2003.

This integration is a strong fit for the Dains Commercial Services team which serves clients from start-up to a turnover of several million pounds per annum.

Dains Managing Partner Richard McNeilly said: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of the trade and assets of Clere’s Limited which builds on our position within the Birmingham marketplace.

“In recent years, our proposition has improved enormously for ambitious business owners, who require advice on everything from cloud accounting to VAT, corporate taxation and growth funding.

“We look forward to welcoming clients and staff to Dains as we continue to grow in the Midlands.”

In 2018-19, 53 new staff joined Dains and seven graduates were welcomed into the business which has offices in Birmingham, Lichfield, Burton, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent.

The firm also achieved the prestigious Investors in People Gold Standard which recognises the company’s commitment to people and the key role they play at the heart of the company’s success.

Richard added: “These are exciting times for Dains and I’d like to thank our staff who have been instrumental in bringing this acquisition to fruition.”
