Chadwicks are delighted to announce a recent change that allows us to be part of something bigger, whilst also retaining the values and culture of our established family firm. We have merged with AMS Group – a leading professional services firm based in Manchester.

Being part of the AMS Group whilst retaining the Chadwicks name and values allows our clients access to an expanded selection of business solutions, including specialist tax services, law, wealth management and more. AMS Group, which predominantly serves medium-sized businesses, is comprised of ‘best in class’ specialists who work together to offer relationship-led, customised solutions for your business.

Chadwicks senior leadership team, headed by the founder and current MD, Michael Chadwick, will remain in place and continue to manage our 55+ expert staff members. As a practice firmly focused on people, we found a synergy with AMS Group. Their win of the 2024 Manchester Chamber of Commerce ‘Employer of the Year’ award demonstrates an alignment with our values, making it an ideal fit.

AMS Group’s entrepreneurial CEO, Ebrahim Sidat, commented: “In line with our client-first approach, we can now share our enhanced list of services with Chadwicks’ client base, and, in turn, we will benefit from their expertise and specialist knowledge. We are very pleased to welcome the whole team.”

Business founder, Michael Chadwick, explained “In recent years, we have been targeted by a number of organisations, but the approach taken by AMS Group was completely in sync with our own. This is, undoubtedly, at least partly because both entities were originally established as family businesses, applying the outlook and philosophy so important to develop and grow a successful professional services firm. I immediately recognised the strong alignment in our culture and values. Given the current trajectory of the accounting profession, partnering with an advisory-led platform like AMS Group, rather than a mainstream consolidator, was essential. Our decision assures me that our clients and staff will together have a bright future, which is, and has always been, my top priority.”

This marks an exciting new chapter for us. We believe that the combined strengths of AMS and Chadwicks will provide a new level of support for all our clients.

For client continuity, our staff, offices and contact details remain the same, and clients can be assured of the ongoing commitment to an exceptional and wider service offering.
