Shaw Gibbs strengthen expatriate tax offering with the acquisition of Sestini & Co.

Founded in February 2013, Sestini & Co are a one Partner business with 13 employees based over two offices in Paulton, Bristol and Berkley Square, London. Amongst their offering is a particular niche in advising US citizens living in the UK, or an “accidental American” needing to file US tax returns.

Rachel Sestini, Partner of Sestini & Co comments.

“As the sole owner of Sestini & Co, I have taken some time to find a succession plan which will ensure the practice continues to thrive while maintaining the client relationships we have built over the last 11 years.

I wanted the firm we chose to work with to offer services we do not provide but, we also wanted to enhance their service offering with the expertise we have developed and nurtured though our history. ”

Peter O’Connell, CEO for Shaw Gibbs adds

“Sestini have an exceptional track-record, and the US side of tax advisory was something we were keen to expand on. I have no doubt that Rachel and the team will be instrumental in driving our commitment to delivering superior value to our clients.”

The addition of Sestini to the Shaw Gibbs Group will result in a 380 person-strong practice based over twelve offices located in: Oxford, Basingstoke, Bristol, Farnham, Liss, London (x2), Sutton, Teddington, Thame, Northampton and Winchester.
