Riches & Company

What Riches & Company does

Riches & Company is a chartered accountancy practice founded in 1979 and headquartered in Cobham, Surrey, with additional offices in London's Mayfair district and Dubai, UAE. The firm operates as a two-partner partnership led by Richard Bolton and Nick Caso, employing between 11 and 50 staff across its three locations, and is registered with the ICAEW (partnership #7184827) as a regulated accountancy and statutory audit practice with additional registered auditor authorization in Sharjah and Dubai.

The firm's service offering spans the full traditional accountancy stack: corporate tax planning, personal tax planning, VAT, payroll, statutory accounts and audit, business start-up advisory, and an international services line oriented around UK-Middle East cross-border work. Service delivery is partner-led with fixed pricing and a complimentary one-hour consultation as the principal client acquisition mechanism, supplemented by OneClick, an online client portal handling document exchange and engagement workflow. The client base is split across private individuals, owner-managed businesses, and medium-sized companies with turnovers above £40 million, with no disclosed concentration in any single named enterprise.

In July 2026 the firm was acquired by bk plus group, terminating its independent partnership status and integrating it into a larger multi-office accounting network. Pre-acquisition, Riches & Company operated without disclosed revenue, without AI or machine learning capabilities, and without a differentiated technology platform beyond the OneClick portal; the competitive position rested on regulatory credentials, partner expertise, and 45 years of operating history rather than on proprietary technology or scale.
