We are proud to announce our expansion into Wales with the addition of Harris Bassett Accountants, marking an important step in our continued investment in locally led accountancy services.
Harris Bassett is a well-established firm serving businesses across South and West Wales, with offices in Swansea, Pembroke and Llanelli. The team is known for its practical advice, strong client relationships and deep understanding of the local business community. They support a wide range of owner-managed businesses and SMEs across audit, tax and business advisory services.
This milestone comes almost five years to the day since we founded bk plus in 2021 and takes us to more than 40 offices across the UK. From the outset, we have focused on building a business rooted in local communities, led by people who know their areas and understand the businesses within them.
Nick Bassett, Managing Partner at Harris Bassett, said:
“What mattered to us was protecting what our clients value most – local knowledge, continuity and relationships. Joining bk plus gives us the backing of a wider group while allowing us to continue delivering advice in the way our clients expect. The focus on local teams and local decision-making made this a very natural fit.”
We have grown steadily by bringing together established firms that share a similar approach to client service, combining strong local delivery with access to broader specialist support when needed.
Shaun Knight, our CEO, said:
“Harris Bassett has a strong reputation locally and a team that truly understands the businesses they work with. This is the first step in a wider programme of investment in people, offices and specialist support across Wales as we continue to build our presence.
Our model is simple: local people delivering local services to local businesses, supported by national expertise when it matters.”
The Harris Bassett team will continue to operate as they do today, with the same people and day-to-day contacts. Clients will benefit from access to wider specialist support across the bk plus group, while maintaining the trusted local service they are used to.
