The acquisition, the financial terms of which were not disclosed, is part of Evelyn Partners’ strategy of augmenting strong organic growth in its professional services business with selective purchases of firms that fit its desire to boost the regional presence, it said. 

Established over 150 years ago, the team of over 50 at Creaseys offers a range of assurance, advisory and tax services to both businesses and individuals, with a particular expertise in advising private equity executives on their tax affairs.

In February 2023 Evelyn Partners acquired Leathers LLP which operates from offices in Newcastle and Harrogate and in April it acquired Cambridge-based firm the Ashcroft Partnership LLP.  

“Terry Shephard and his colleagues have developed a highly respected and forward-thinking firm which fits well with Evelyn Partners both in terms of expertise, culture, and the types of clients they advise,” Andrew Wilkes, chief professional services director of Evelyn Partners, said of the latest deal.
