Following the acquisition, HMA Tax will continue to be led by its founders and operate independently within the K3 group.


Duncan Chittick, co-founder of HMA Tax, commented:

“When we were approached by K3 about the potential transaction, it was immediately apparent we were dealing with an ambitious Group who shared many of our business values and growth plans.

“This deal is an incredibly exciting opportunity to accelerate our growth. However, for our existing clients, it is strictly business as usual. Tom and I are committed to continue leading the business and we are looking forward to driving HMA Tax forward as part of K3.”


John Rigby, Executive Chairman of K3, said:

“We are delighted to welcome HMA Tax to the K3 Group. There is crossover with existing K3 businesses, but we see the HMA Tax brand as highly accretive and with considerable growth opportunities.

“We believe that with access to central services such as Data, Marketing, HR and IT, HMA Tax can accelerate its growth opportunities within the SME marketplace.”
