📈Today marks a pivotal day in our growth journey as we announce our largest deal to date with leading accountancy and business advisory firm Kreston Reeves propelling us to a £200m+ group. With over 550 people across 7 offices in London, Kent, and Sussex, welcoming Kreston Reeves to AAB significantly enhances our scale, geographic reach, and service capability, strengthening our position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing mid-market advisory firms.
From our Chief Executive, Lancaster: “This is a major milestone for AAB and a clear demonstration of our ambition to become the leading professional services firm serving the mid-market. Growing the group beyond £200 million revenue is not about growth for growth’s sake - it’s about building a resilient, sustainable business that delivers long-term value for our clients, our people and our communities.”
Jose Barreto, Partner, and Mihir Lal, Managing Director, Private Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, commented: “We are very excited about the transformative strategic combination of AAB and Kreston Reeves. This partnership accelerates our vision for a national presence across the UK and Ireland, delivering essential scale in the South-East of England. The deep cultural alignment between AAB and Kreston Reeves will strengthen the collective offering for both customers and employees."
Our team is now over 1,800 people strong across 23 locations in the UK and Ireland.
