Eight Advisory supported CBPE portfolio company BKL on its acquisition of Alan Heywood & Company

BKL is an accountancy firm based in London that provides a range of financial, consultancy and tax services to entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses in a variety of sectors, particularly financial services, property & construction, or non-for-profit. Since CBPE’s investment in April 2023, and through the merger of Landau Baker and CFPro, BKL has grown to a team of over 270 people.
