Edinburgh—The Dentons team in Scotland is delighted to have advised the founders of AccountancyManager on its sale to Hg Capital-backed Bright Software Group. The investment from Bright will accelerate the speed at which AccountancyManager is able to evolve its product, enhancing the ability to bring functions to the practice management component faster and better.

Kevin McCallum, Chief Executive at AccountancyManager, commented: "It was a pleasure working with the Dentons team on this pivotal transaction for AccountancyManager. Brian Moore and his team have supported us every step of the way and we are delighted with the outcome."

Brian Moore, Corporate Partner at Dentons, commented: "We really enjoyed working with AccountancyManager's founders and leadership team on what I am confident will be a very successful combination with Bright Software Group. The deal was the latest in a long line of cloud software and software-as-a-service M&A transactions we have worked on in recent years.  Given growth and capital deployment in the sector show no signs of slowing down, I am sure there are plenty more of these deals in the pipeline."
