Dains Group acquires UK-based practice Curo, offering audit, tax, and advisory services. Founded in 2005 by Anna Madden and Julia Gallagher, Curo serves UK and international clients. This is Dains Group’s fourth acquisition since receiving backing from private equity firm IK Partners.

Curo co-founders Madden and Gallagher express excitement about joining Dains Group to enhance client service. With Curo’s integration, Dains aims to expand its capabilities in areas associated with larger firms. The existing Curo team in Bromsgrove will continue operations under Madden and Gallagher’s leadership.

Advisory services for the acquisition were provided by DSW, PDW, Cyber Crowd, and Mercia for due diligence aspects. Curo received guidance from Transcend Corporate on corporate finance matters and Shakespeare Martineau on legal issues. Dains Group CEO Richard McNeilly praises Curo’s reputation for technical excellence and client relationships.

In September 2025, Dains Group acquired TBAT Innovation, a consultancy specializing in research and development tax incentives and grant funding. The acquisition of Curo was reported by International Accounting Bulletin, a GlobalData owned brand.
