DSG Chartered Accountants had strong corporate finance and tax growth in 2025 when we completed more than 20 deals and transactions.
Across the year, we advised on transactions with a value of more than £200m. The year’s activity included M&A, financial due diligence (FDD), employee ownership trust (EOT) transactions, demergers, MBOs and other succession-based restructuring, reflecting the breadth of expertise within our corporate finance and tax advisory team.
The corporate finance and tax advisory momentum follows a wider period of progress for DSG, after completing a management buyout (MBO) in 2024.
We have plans to continue investing in our corporate finance team in 2026, with a strong deal pipeline, including sale mandates, FDDs and MBOs. The current year shows an 83 per cent increase year to date, compared to 2024.
Over the same period, we supported more than 200 new clients across audit and accounts, payroll, tax compliance and planning, and general business advisory.
Andrew Moss, corporate finance partner at DSG, said: “The firm is fully focused on being a key advisor to its clients, we will continue to invest in the corporate finance team in 2026, ensuring we have the skills and resource to support businesses at every stage of their journey.”
Mark Kearsley, tax partner at DSG, added: “In the year we marked the first anniversary of our MBO, we’ve seen how remaining independent helps sustain long-term success.
“Demand for corporate finance and tax advisory continues to rise as business owners navigate change and plan for growth and resilience. Following the Autumn Budget, we’re already working with owner-managed businesses to prepare for the new tax year and beyond.”
