A Swindon firm which combines accountancy and law under one roof is celebrating five years in business.
Optimum Professional Services was created in 2017, bringing together accountants and lawyers with decades of experience between them.
The company initially operated from serviced offices, but quickly expanded, and the team are now located in their own building in Stratton.
Expansion has also meant opening a second office, in Cheltenham, and the firm has taken over a number of smaller accountancy practices.
The six-strong Board comprises Michael Blaken, Tracey Heath, Jon Lacey, Iain Mason, Hannah Matthews and Rob Stokes, heading up a team of more than 25.
Accounts Director Michael Blaken said: “We championed the idea of combining accountancy and legal services within one company, to offer a more seamless service to our clients, with ease of access to professionals providing expert, quality advice.”
On the accountancy side, Optimum offers accounting and audit, business and personal tax planning, business planning, bookkeeping and payroll. The legal team, headed by solicitor Iain Mason, provide expertise in domestic and commercial property conveyancing, as well as wider commercial legal advice to the firm’s client base.
Mr Mason said: “Clients appreciate being able to deal with the same company for their professional services.
"To us, what might be a straightforward question easily answered is something that a client has been struggling with – being able to provide a quick opinion resonates with clients.
"We have business accountancy clients who we can help with their commercial property moves, or moving home. As a business model, it has worked exceptionally well.”
