One Advisory, a London-headquartered business advisory, has been acquired by listed specialist business advisory firm FRP. The deal is FRP’s 14th acquisition since its IPO in March 2020.
One Advisory serves more than 100 domestic and international clients, the majority listed on the London Stock Exchange, providing financial reporting, transaction advisory and governance services.
The company has established itself as one of London’s leading advisory firms, providing comprehensive services relating to corporate governance and financial reporting. The firm has a 41-strong staff, all of whom will join FRP as part of the acquisition.
One Advisory directors Matt Wood, Laura Nuttall and Michael Butler will become partners at FRP post-acquisition. The company’s governance team, meanwhile, will continue trading as One Advisory, while the financial reporting division will go-to-market under the FRP brand.
One Advisory founder Matt Wood said that the deal would create significant opportunities for the firm and its clients, adding that joining FRP marked the start of a new chapter that would enable the firm to "offer a broader, more comprehensive range of services to our clients.”
He continued: "By building on our shared values of quality and professionalism, we're confident that our partnership with FRP will help us to accelerate growth.”
The deal follows close on the heels of FRP’s recent acquisitions of corporate finance specialists WilliamsAli and Lexington and valuation specialist Globalview Advisors. M&A and organic growth form core parts of a strategy that has enabled FRP to significantly increase its market share, expand geographically and broaden its service offering in the five years since it went public.
FRP CEO Geoff Rowley commented: "This acquisition marks another important step in the expansion of our national financial advisory pillar; it broadens our transactional services offering and adds new governance advisory capabilities.”
