Growing accountancy practice DJH Mitten Clarke has announced its third acquisition within the last 12 months.
The deal has seen the company add Walsall firm, Bakers Chartered Accountants, to the group in a move which provides the opportunity to further grow the DJH Mitten Clarke client base in the Midlands region.
It is the latest move for the Stoke-on-Trent headquartered company, which has seen 90 per cent growth since March 2021 and is now a Top 50 accountancy practice.
At the helm of the 275 strong team – following an addition of 20 from Bakers – is group managing director Scott Heath.

Scott said: "Over the last 12 months we've seen incredible growth and the latest acquisition is the next step on our journey to achieve our ambitious goals.
"The partnership with Bakers will enhance our presence in the West Midlands, becoming a substantial office to our group."
He added: "When we met with the directors at Bakers we connected straight away, setting us up for a great relationship and partnership for the future."
Walsall will remain the base for the Bakers team and will become the West Midlands office of the group.
Bakers' director Phil Taylor will continue to lead the Bakers team alongside fellow director John Davis.
Phil said: "After 100 years in business, the decision to partner with DJH Mitten Clarke is right for our business.
"It will allow us to develop the services that we offer our clients and create opportunities for our team to grow."
The acquisition of Bakers follows what DJH Mitten Clarke describes as an 'outstanding 12 months' which started with the merger of well-known Staffordshire practices, Mitten Clarke and DJH in March.
That was followed closely by the acquisitions of Morris & Co, based in Chester, in April, and Lloyd Piggott, in Manchester, in July.
