Background
Dains provides essential services to 4,000 fast-growth businesses, international companies and high net worth individuals helping clients achieve their goals through award-winning audit, tax and business advisory and support services. The market that Dains operates in is highly fragmented and sized at £4.5bn and driven by strong tailwinds due to increasing levels of compliance and sophistication, as a result of which a growing proportion of clients are outsourcing business-enhancing tasks to expert providers
Horizon Capital have worked closely with the team to build upon a strategy of both organic and inorganic growth, supporting the identification and origination of M&A opportunities, execution support and capital for consolidation.
Buy and Build

The Journey
Since completion Horizon Capital have worked with the team to further invest and build out the infrastructure and capabilities of the Group.
