Streets is a ranked 37th in the Accountancy Daily Top 75 Firms survey and is a UK mid-tier and multi-regional practice with annual fee income of  £20.4m. It has 15 offices, 36 partners and over 200 staff.

The Luton practice of S J Males & Co is headed up by Craig and Sarah Males, who will both be joining the merged firm as partners, but will be retaining their current office.

Craig Males said: ‘Prior to the merger we worked informally with Streets accessing advice and support we were not able to provide to our clients. This included specialist tax advice and assistance with more complex accountancy and audit work. 

‘This approach allowed us to get to know each other better and supported the move for both firms to work more closely. We have recognised the need to be able to offer our clients a greater breadth of service to support them with the challenges they face and we also wanted to increase the firm’s capacity to develop the business.
