dns Corporate Advisory is the deal advisory arm of the dns accountants group - a group that was built the same way our clients want to grow: by buying businesses, one at a time, with its own money.
This firm exists because we kept buying businesses.
The dns accountants group grew the unfashionable way. Not by advertising, but by acquiring: UK accountancy practices, bought one at a time, integrated, and run for the long term. More than thirty completions later, the group is still acquiring - through the same team, including Pinksalt Partners, the group's accountancy practice acquisition arm.
Somewhere along that road, the owners we sat across from started asking for help with their own deals. Selling a company. Buying one. Funding one. They did not want a report - they wanted someone who had actually done it, with their own money at stake. dns Corporate Advisory is the answer to that question.
So everything on this site comes from practice, not theory. The valuation advice comes from pricing real acquisitions. The diligence advice comes from running it, thirty-plus times, from the buyer's chair. The lending advice comes from people who know how lenders decide. And every article here is signed by the person who wrote it.
We advise based on what we have done. Not on what looks good in a report.
Founding principle, dns Corporate Advisory
We know the buyer's playbook because it is ours. When we advise you on a sale, the person opposite you is doing what we do every month - so nothing in the process surprises us.
Your accounts, your tax position and your deal are one conversation, not three referrals. That is the practical benefit of sitting inside an accountancy group.
We work where owner-managed deals actually happen: £500k to £20m. Not a big-four firm scaling down; a deal team built for this market from the start.
Named people, signed work. Every engagement is led by a senior adviser, and every article on this site carries the name of the person who wrote it.
Service lines, not a menu. Each one exists because we needed it ourselves first.
Acquisition-led growth, advised by a team that runs its own platform.
