Congratulations to AMS Accountants Group on securing investment from Macquarie Capital

GCS (formerly, GRAPH Strategy) is pleased to have provided Vendor Commercial Due Diligence to AMS Accountants Group on its majority investment from Macquarie Capital.
Headquartered in Manchester with offices in Leeds, London and Birmingham, AMS is an accounting and advisory firm serving a wide range of clients, from owner-managed businesses to high-growth start-ups and established mid-sized enterprises. The firm has also recently launched in Scotland, where it has already secured over £200,000 in new contracts across energy, food and drink, and other sectors.
Macquarie Capital’s investment will accelerate AMS’s buy-and-build strategy, supporting expansion across the UK and the continued development of technology-enabled advisory solutions.
GCS’s work focused on assessing AMS’s market positioning, service differentiation, and opportunities for growth, while also evaluating synergies between AMS’s core platform and potential future acquisitions.
The GCS team on the transaction was led by James Tetherton and James Woolsey.
“We were delighted to support AMS and its shareholders as they prepared for this important transaction. The firm has built a strong reputation for combining breadth of services with a client-first mindset, and Macquarie’s investment will enable the next stage of growth."
— James Tetherton, Founding Partner, GCS
This latest engagement adds to GCS’s multi-year track record in professional and financial services, supporting management teams and investors on complex, people-driven transactions.
