Access deeper industry intelligence Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise. DJH CEO Scott Heath said: “We have been deliberately building our national footprint in regions where we know we can add real value to local businesses and their advisers. “The South West has been firmly on our radar, and Gooding Accounts is exactly the kind of practice we look for – technically strong, client-focused and with a culture that matches our own.” The Wiltshire-based practice was established in 2014 by Sam Gooding. It offers accountancy services to start-ups, established businesses, owner-managers and ‘fast-growing’ disrupters. The practice moved its operational base to the White Horse Business Park in July last year. Following the transaction, Sam and Katy Gooding will continue at the head of the Gooding Accounts team to maintain operational continuity. They will also oversee the addition of new service capabilities such as corporate finance, research and development tax credits, and wills and estate planning. As a result of the deal, clients of Gooding Accounts will also benefit from DJH’s resources, specialist teams, technology and infrastructure. Sam Gooding said: “Joining DJH is the right move at the right time. We have built something genuinely special here in Wiltshire, and I am incredibly proud of what the team has achieved – but we are ambitious, and moving into a larger group gives us the platform to go further. “Katy and I are both fully committed to this business, to this team and to every client we serve. That doesn’t change. What does change is what we are now able to offer. “The South West deserves access to the kind of specialist expertise that has previously only been available to clients of the larger firms in the cities – and we are now able to deliver just that.” DJH currently employs almost 900 staff across 20 offices in the UK and Ireland.
