Ashford accountants WK Finn-Kelcey to be known as Wilkins Kennedy FKC

Following the successful merger with top 25 UK chartered accountancy firm Wilkins Kennedy in 2008, leading Ashford chartered accountancy firm WK Finn-Kelcey will be known as Wilkins Kennedy FKC from 1st January 2011.

Founded in 1920 as Finn-Kelcey & Chapman, the office in Ashford is headed by Hugh Summerfield, with a total complement of 4 partners and 70 staff, and offers professional accountancy and business advisory services to thousands of individuals and businesses across the region.

The Ashford office has continued to develop professionally in terms of service, client base and qualified staff since the merger, and, along with a sister office in Orpington, has strong connections and an extensive client base across the Kent region.

Wilkins Kennedy FKC offers a wide range of accountancy and financial advisory services including: audit and assurance, tax, business and advisory, corporate finance, restructuring and recovery, forensic accounting, outsourced services, human resources and financial management.

Hugh Summerfield, Partner at Wilkins Kennedy, says, “The new name Wilkins Kennedy FKC reflects our merged business operation more accurately. After consultation we decided we wished to maintain the local historical name connection but, at the same time, highlight the availability of our new solid, larger product base.”

”The successful merger back in 2008 has allowed us to continue to offer clients a local, personalised partner led service, combined with the ability to call upon a number of dedicated sector specific professionals from our other offices and professional fields.”
