Founded in 1939, Rhodes & Rhodes is a three-partner firm based bear Gray’s Inn which has an extensive client base of both young and established businesses, as well as high net worth individuals and their families.  The tie-up will see all Rhodes & Rhodes’ partners and staff relocate to HW Fisher’s London headquarters later this year.

HW Fisher & Company was established in 1933 and provides a personal, partner-led service to entrepreneurial SMEs, large corporates and third sector organisations as well as private clients. The practice comprises 30 partners and approximately 290 staff, with reported revenues of £27.1m, placing the firm at 25 in Accountancy’s league table.

Michael Davis, managing partner at HW Fisher & Company, said: ‘The acquisition of Rhodes & Rhodes is an important milestone in our strategy for sustained growth. It’s an innovative and intensely professional firm, with a philosophy and values similar to our own – so this is the right acquisition at the right time.’
