SMH Group

SMH Group Giving you the confidence to grow and shape your future.

Since 1995 Sutton McGrath Hartley have been a Chartered Accountancy firm based in Sheffield and Chesterfield. In 2018 the firm began an exciting growth period, first acquiring BullockWoodburn followed by Haywood & Co, Andertons Liversidge, Jolliffe Cork, Malcolm J Harris, BCL Accountants, D’Arcy Howard & Co, Howard Matthews, Sheards and Reed Smith. Now, with over 150 staff across 9 offices and ad

ditional services being offered within the group, it has become clear that for the clients of each office to benefit, everything should be tied together with a new SMH branding. In 2022, the SMH Group was born, with all the individual offices having their original names prefixed with ‘SMH’. The change allows us to give each office access to the wider group’s services, whilst keeping the local knowledge and expertise in each area. The rebrand was the vision of James Hartley in a bid to make sure there is a clear path and structure for existing and new group entities. The mission of the newly formed SMH Group is to ‘ensure no financial stone is left unturned’ to enable clients to access all their financial requirements within one group of companies.

Could changes to student loan repayments affect more than just your monthly payslip?

From this month, a 6% interest cap applies to Plan 2 student loans, while further changes to repayment thresholds could also affect graduates over the coming years.

For those balancing mortgages, pensions, savings and other financial commitments, student loan repayments are another factor worth considering as part of the bigger picture.

Our blog looks at what is changing and what it could mean for graduates and their families.

Living with your partner but not married?
Your legal position might not be what you think.

The Government has been consulting on significant changes to the rights of cohabiting couples in England and Wales, including greater protections following separation and when a partner dies without a will.

For now, though, unmarried couples still have far fewer automatic protections than married couples or civil partners.

Our blog looks at what could change, and why it may be worth reviewing the arrangements you currently have in place.

At this year’s SMH Group Charity Golf Day, we jumped in the buggy to catch up with a few of the teams out on the course and find out how the golf was really going.

It was a brilliant day at Chesterfield Golf Club, all while raising money for MND Association South Yorkshire and Paces Sheffield.
