It's been a busy time for one North East accountancy business, with accountancy buy-outs, two new partners and a new office.
With over a decade of experience, Andrew Potts, founder of KP Simpson Certified Public Accountants, based in Jarrow and South Shields and his team have seen a rapid growth in their business over the last 12 months.
Recently, the company purchased two accountancy practices in South Shields, GR Stenton & Co and Steven Beavers & Co, which have been in business for over 30 years.
In addition to the takeovers, KP Simpson now have a new office in Harton Village in South Shields, and have retained the staff and clients from both Stenton and Beavers.
Managing Director Andrew Potts said “Our aim is to offer each and every client the same level of skill, knowledge, and advice that we always have, as well as build on a strong customer service ethic to maintain standards and improve relationships with all our clients, no matter how big or small."

Alex Hudson and Dawn Stott, former employees of KP Simpson, have now become equal partners along with Andrew, and co-owners within the firm.
Dawn said: “It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for us all over the last few months, with the takeovers, becoming a partner, our rebrand and opening another office, but we love to stay busy and supporting our clients is what we do best. We’re very much looking forward to the future and our 30-strong workforce are supporting us all the way.”
Alex added: “I’m delighted to be made partner, along with Dawn. There are some exciting times ahead and I am proud to be part of such a growing business.”
