Hg's Cogital acquires Rawlinsons

The transaction is a bolt-on for the group's UK company Baldwins Group. It comes two weeks after Baldwins acquired Kettering-based Smith Hodge & Baxter and three months after Cogital's Blick Rothenberg brand acquired accountancy and business advisory firm Shelley Stock Hutter.

The deal brings the total number of Baldwins offices to 63 across the UK.

Cogital is a tax and advisory practice, created by Hg with the acquisition of Blick Rothenberg in August 2016. The group consists of Azets Group in the Nordic region, and Baldwins and Blick Rothenberg in the UK.

Following the deal, Rawlinson's Peterborough office will continue to trade under its existing name, while its Cambridge office will operate under the Baldwins brand.
