O’Reilly Chartered Accountants in Hawes merges with WDS

We are delighted to announce that O’Reilly Chartered Accountants, a well-respected practice based in Hawes, North Yorkshire is merging with WDS. From 1 September, the O’Reilly team and their clients will officially join us at our Leyburn office.

This marks another exciting step in WDS’s journey of growth. With six existing offices across Yorkshire, the addition of O’Reilly strengthens our local presence and expands the expertise available to our clients.

Julie Young, Managing Director of WDS, said:

“We are proud to take a bold step forward by welcoming O’Reilly into WDS. From the outset, it was clear that their values, ethos, and strong commitment to exceptional client service aligned perfectly with ours, making this a natural and exciting fit. This strategic move not only strengthens our foundation but also enhances our ability to deliver even greater value to our clients.”

O’Reilly clients will continue to receive the same trusted advice and personal service they have come to rely on, now backed by the wider resources and specialist expertise of WDS.

This merger represents more than growth for WDS — it reflects our ongoing commitment to building strong teams, strengthening local communities, and ensuring every client benefits from the highest standard of service.

We are excited to welcome the O’Reilly team into the WDS family and look forward to the future together.
