Advisor to Sumer on its acquisition of BHP Chartered Accountants

Sumer Group, a top 12 UK accounting and advisory services platform, has acquired BHP, a 420-colleague firm with a strong 150+ year regional heritage and deep SME relationships across Yorkshire and North East of England.

BHP becomes Sumer’s 14th regional hub, representing a highly selective, strategic addition that fits seamlessly with the Group’s established Hub-and-Spoke model enhancing Sumer’s scale, capabilities, and local client service delivery.

The acquisition expands Sumer’s regional presence into Yorkshire, reinforcing its position as a national champion for local firms.

As a top 50 firm, BHP brings a highly profitable platform with more than 420 colleagues, 5 offices and ~£40m in annual fee income. It has long-standing relationships across key regional economies, complementing Sumer’s strategy to support high-quality firms with investment in people, technology, and operational excellence.

The transaction underscores Sumer’s commitment to building a differentiated independent accounting and advisory group through a combination of targeted acquisitions and sustainable organic growth.
