The firm operates a multi-brand model (Dains, Dains Scotland, Dains Ireland, Condies, HURST, Barnes Roffe, Isosceles, Opto Group, CRS VAT, GHE, Curo, TBAT Innovation) built largely through acquisition, with sub-brands such as iFD, iPeopleHR, iCount and iReport extending into fractional CFO, HR, cloud accounting and business intelligence offerings.

The business model is fee-based professional services revenue, billed on engagement or recurring mandates, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or recurring SaaS ARR. Technology is largely third-party, anchored by Xero Platinum Partner status and standard accounting tooling, with no proprietary AI, platform or data assets disclosed. The group is privately held, headquartered in Birmingham, and is described by management as one of the fastest-growing accountancy groups in the UK.
