TC Group’s rapid growth continues following a merger with West Sussex-based practice, Sykes, Dalby & Truelove Limited (SDTL).
Last year, TC entered the accountancy Top 40 in the UK, having jumped 14 places to 34. TC also recently became the first UK accountancy firm in the country to offer a full range of investment, mortgage, legal and HR advice.
SDTL, owned by Tony Dalby, is a firm of Chartered Accountants dedicated to helping business owners become more profitable. The team at SDTL work for a range of clients ranging from sole traders and partnerships to international trading companies, providing solutions to day-to-day accounting and tax issues.
Tony comments: “It is with great pleasure that I can say SDTL is joining forces with TC Group. SDTL aims to enable clients to have a better work/life balance through our support, innovation and training to meet their accountancy needs. A business ethos which TC shares.”
Chris Checkley, a partner at TC, adds: “SDTL is a well-respected accountancy practice with a loyal client base. This loyalty has been built on Tony and his team’s commitment to building long-lasting relationships and providing a first-class service. Joining forces with SDTL will significantly boost TC’s presence in West Sussex.”
We are also very grateful to WJP Brokerage Limited who recognised the potential synergy between us and made the initial introduction.”
