Midlands independent accountancy firm opens new office in Birmingham

A Midlands independent accountancy firm has expanded by opening a new office in Birmingham following a significant period of growth.

HB&O, which also has existing offices in Coventry and Leamington Spa, has moved into a prime location at Northspring on Temple Street, in the heart of Birmingham city centre.

It will be the first time the firm, which can trace its roots back to 1924, has had a presence in the city.

The firm works primarily with SMEs, not-for-profit companies and owner-managed businesses. HB&O offers a wide range of services to businesses and individuals, including audit, business and tax advisory, compliance services, payroll, transaction tax services, inheritance tax, trusts and estates, VAT and indirect tax, and Virtual Finance Office.

It currently employs more than 100 people and has plans to further expand its audit and tax teams as part of its ambitious growth plans in Birmingham.

The business will also continue to develop its offering to clients from its offices in Coventry and Leamington.

Its new private office space at Northspring will provide a platform to grow HB&O’s business in Birmingham as it seeks to establish itself as one of the leading independent accountancy and finance firms in the city.

Last year, HB&O was named in the prestigious Accountancy Age Top 50+50 rankings for 2024 – recognising the firm as one of the top 100 in the UK.
