CJ Bookkeeping Solutions Joins MBS Accountants – A Strategic Merger to Support Our Growth and Reach

We’re excited to share that CJ Bookkeeping Solutions has officially joined the MBS Accountants family as part of a strategic merger.

This marks another step forward in our mission to make high-quality, modern finance support more accessible to ambitious businesses — and to bring great people into the journey.

Why We’ve Merged

At MBS, we’re focused on building something that lasts — not just in scale, but in the quality of relationships and results we deliver. That’s why we’re selective about who we partner with, and why we’re so pleased to have Charlotte from CJBS on board.

Charlotte has built a loyal client base through her practical, straight-talking approach and a real dedication to doing things properly. Her values align closely with ours, and we both believe in giving business owners clarity, confidence, and the financial tools to grow.

This merger allows us to continue that work together — with added depth, systems, and support behind the scenes.

A Natural Fit

CJBS may have been a smaller practice, but the quality of care and client retention it achieved speaks volumes. Charlotte’s decision to step back from running her firm independently came from a desire to focus more on client delivery — without the burden of managing everything solo.

At MBS, we’re proud to offer that environment:

✅ A strong back-office team

✅ Integrated systems and AI-driven tools

✅ The freedom to focus on delivering great work

✅ A culture built on integrity, accountability, and adult-to-adult relationships

What This Means for MBS

This isn’t just about growth for the sake of it. It’s about adding the right kind of people, extending our regional footprint, and continuing to show that accountancy can be done differently — with both tech and heart.

Charlotte brings valuable experience, a proven client-first mindset, and the type of practical expertise that strengthens our offer.

It also reinforces our ability to integrate solo operators and micro-practices into the wider MBS model — something we intend to continue as part of our long-term growth strategy.

A Word from Ian

“We’re not trying to be the biggest firm in the country – we’re trying to build the most respected and client-centred one.

Welcoming Charlotte and CJBS into the fold is another sign that we’re on the right track. We’re proud to be a place where great accountants and bookkeepers want to join forces — not just to survive, but to thrive.”

What’s Next?

Over the next few weeks, Charlotte will begin using her MBS email and the CJBS website will redirect to ours. All client work will continue seamlessly behind the scenes, with the same personal service — now backed by a bigger support team.
