We are delighted to share some exciting news with you. We have officially merged with Wilson Partners – bringing our two businesses together to better serve our clients.
Who are Wilson Partners?
Wilson Partners is an Accounting, Tax, and Corporate Finance business with offices across the south of England, working with owner-managed businesses and individuals in the SME sector. Established in 2008, they've enjoyed consistent growth, now with a team of 350 people and a culture that truly values people, clients and relationships.
What does this mean for our clients and contacts?
Simply put – nothing changes to your day-to-day experience with us. Clients will have access to an even broader range of services and expertise. You'll still work with the same people, in the same way, with the same commitment to delivering exceptional service.
Will the quality of service change?
Our people, processes, and technology remain the same. As the partnership develops, we'll also be investing in additional capabilities to further enhance client experience.
Will the Peplows name change?
We are excited about joining forces with a business that can deliver additional benefits to our clients as part of an integrated business and so in time we will transition to the Wilson Partners name and brand. We will let you know when this is happening but rest assured that it will not diminish client or contact experience.
We're really excited about what this means for the future and the opportunities it will bring for our clients, contacts and our people. Thank you for your continued trust in us – we look forward to continuing to support you and our valued clients.

Wilson Partners expands South West presence after joining forces with Devon based Peplows
SME champion and high-growth accounting, tax and corporate finance firm, Wilson Partners, has welcomed Peplows, with offices in Exeter and Newton Abbot into the Group. The move strengthens Wilson Partners' presence in the South West, significantly enhancing its capabilities in accounting, tax, and advisory services.
With this latest acquisition, Wilson Partners now operates with over 360 staff across 10 offices in the South, pushing Group revenues to £40m.
Allan Wilson, Wilson Partners' MD said,
“This marks another significant milestone in our growth journey. Peplows brings a wealth of experience and strong local and national relationships. Above all, they align with our culture and ambition. This is about strengthening our offer to clients while building a business that delivers real value, not just scale.”
Adam Wardle, Head of M&A at Wilson Partners, commented:
“We're excited to bring the Peplows team on our journey. The South West is often overlooked as a hub for talent and innovation. Peplows shares our culture and commitment to great people and clients. With a strong foothold in the property sector, we now have almost 100 people supporting businesses and private individuals across the region. We're looking forward to what we can achieve together.”
Debbie Franklin, Director at Peplows, added:
“We're proud to support Wilson Partners' expansion into the South West. This move brings greater reach, deeper expertise, and access to fantastic talent and services for our clients and team. Culture was the deciding factor – Wilson Partners' ethos really resonated with us and we're excited about the future together.”
Founded in 2008 in Maidenhead, Wilson Partners was built with a clear vision: to champion UK SMEs and their leaders. Following years of strong organic growth, the business secured investment in 2021 to accelerate its ambition of becoming a Top 20 firm. Since then, Wilson Partners has completed ten acquisitions, with revenue increasing more than eightfold.
Now a multi-award-winning firm, Wilson Partners works with SMEs, private individuals and private equity investors across the South of England. The firm is recognised as an 'Outstanding' place to work by Best Companies, awarded 'Best Accountant' at the EISA Awards, and was runner-up in the 'Large Firm of the Year' category at the 2025 Accounting Excellence Awards.
