Blick Rothenberg Acquires The VAT Consultancy

Jim Brown, Chief Operating Officer at Blick Rothenberg said:

The VAT Consultancy is a business we have known and worked with on shared client matters for many years. We have always been impressed by the expertise and the professionalism of the team there and are delighted that they will now become a part of Blick Rothenberg along with the fantastic client base they have built over this time. The team will significantly strengthen our indirect tax offering and continue to build our position as tax advisers to ambitious corporate clients who can rely on both the breadth and depth of our offering.

Julie Park Managing Director VAT and Customs Duty at The VAT Consultancy said:

We are hugely impressed with Blick Rothenberg’s recognition of how important and impactful indirect taxes can be for clients. Joining forces with their existing team will enable us all to focus on delivering the VAT and duty services clients want, and in the way they want them to be provided. There’s a great cultural fit with our people so we are confident of a smooth transition.

The VAT Consultancy’s high-quality advisory and compliance proposition is closely aligned with Blick Rothenberg’s own approach to delivering premium, technically robust tax services. The acquisition enhances the firm’s ability to support both existing and new clients with increasingly complex VAT and customs duty requirements, at a time of continued demand for specialist expertise.

In recent years, Blick Rothenberg has made targeted investments in its VAT practice, including several senior lateral hires following the planned retirement of two longstanding VAT partners. These investments have laid the groundwork for future growth. The addition of The VAT Consultancy’s experienced team meaningfully increases the strength and depth of the VAT offering, creating the right platform to capitalise on market opportunities and to deliver sustained, long-term growth.

Both firms share a strong cultural alignment and a common commitment to technical excellence, client service and collaboration, making The VAT Consultancy a natural fit for Blick Rothenberg.

Blick Rothenberg looks forward to welcoming The VAT Consultancy team and building a stronger, more dynamic Indirect Tax business together.
