Merger for two Cowbridge accountancy practices

Two of the Vale of Glamorgan’s leading accountancy firms have merged to offer clients an increasing range of specialist services and advice.

O’Shea & Owen Chartered Accountants has merged with fellow Cowbridge-based practice Macey Green to create Macey Owen Limited.

The new firm, which will operate from 5 Willow Walk, Cowbridge, will be run by partners Martyn Owen and Charlotte Hulley, who are supported by five members of staff.

Established in the 1960s O’Shea & Owen has earned an enviable reputation for looking after the needs of clients in and around Cowbridge and the Vale of Glamorgan. The practice is led by principal partner Martyn Owen who has been advising local businesses and clients in the agricultural sector for over thirty years.

Macey Green was established in 2012 by Charlotte Hulley, a former partner of Cardiff firm KTS Owens Thomas. Utilising her strong corporate and tax planning background, Charlotte has quickly built a name for Macey Green for providing a high-quality, personal service to clients.

The merger is seen as the joining of two like-minded firms, with shared core values, for the benefit of clients and staff alike. Martyn, said: “We’re delighted to have merged firms. Both Charlotte and I share the same philosophy of providing the best possible service in a friendly and efficient manner. We will continue to provide the same quality service but we feel we will be able to offer clients a wider range of services. The merger will strengthen our offering and enable the practice to continue to thrive and prosper in years to come.”

Charlotte added: “There is such a great deal of synergy between our firms, over our approach to looking after clients and to growing our own businesses whilst retaining the core values that have underpinned our success to date. It is a very exciting time and I’m confident that the merger will prove to be a real winner for all of our clients.”

Macey Owen Ltd offers a range of accounting, financial and business services, including: management and annual accounts, personal and corporation tax returns, tax planning and other accounting services.
