Tennick Accountants has joined forces with Hereford-based Kinder Accountants in a move that doubles the size of the business and strengthens its support for clients across the UK.
The coming together brings Kinder Accountants into the Tennick Accountants family, creating a 14-strong team across Newcastle and Hereford.
The move marks an important stage in Tennick Accountants’ growth journey and supports its wider ambition to become not just a bigger business, but a better one. The firm is a national award winner, having previously won both the Xero Small Firm of the Year Award and Accountancy Excellence’s Grand Prix Award for National Small Firm of the Year.
Founded by Graeme Tennick in 2012, Tennick Accountants has built its reputation on ‘starting where other accountants stop’, helping business owners go beyond compliance and use their numbers to create more time, money and freedom. Kinder Accountants, founded by Sharon Baker, is a multi-award-winning digital accountancy firm known for its human, values-led approach and making finance easier to understand.
Graeme Tennick, the firm’s Founder and ‘Chief Impact Officer’, said:
“Bringing Kinder Accountants into the Tennick Accountants family is a hugely exciting moment for us.
“From our earliest conversations with Sharon, it was clear that Kinder shared our values, our approach and our commitment to clients, our teams and the communities around us.
“This gives us the opportunity to strengthen the support we offer, invest further in our people and create even more positive impact for the businesses we work with.
“For us, growth has never just been about size. It is about being better, creating more opportunities and helping more people improve their lives inside and outside of work.”
The expanded firm has already begun investing in both its Newcastle and Hereford teams, while continuing to work with local suppliers in both regions and wider partners across the country.
It will also explore new partnerships with local businesses and charities, reflecting Tennick Accountants’ 360 vision to improve the lives of individuals and businesses while making a positive contribution to the wider community.
Sharon Baker, Founder of Kinder Accountants, said:
“Joining the Tennick Accountants family is a positive and exciting next chapter for Kinder Accountants, our clients and our team.
“From the beginning, it was clear that Graeme and the Tennick team shared our values and our commitment to putting people first.
“Kinder Accountants will continue to be Kinder Accountants, with the same care, support and personal service our clients know and trust, now backed by the strength, expertise and energy of a wider team.”
Graeme added:
“We are proud of what both firms have achieved so far, and even more excited about what we can now achieve together.”
