History

Nixon Williams was founded in 1995 by Alan Williams and Andy Nixon in Chorley. The firm was set up with the view of serving professionals and expanded as the firm started to acquire more clients nationwide via word-of-mouth.
After 19 years at the organisation, both founders stepped down when the business was along with SJD Accountancy, by Sovereign Capital, a specialist UK private equity firm. Andy Nixon and Alan Williams have since invested in a new practice, Alchemy Accountancy, which was launched in 2018.
After two years of stewardship, Nixon Williams & SJD Accountancy became a part of the Optionis group, after Sovereign Capital backed a merger with the Optionis brand.
As of 2018, the firm has 4,000 clients and multiple offices scattered across the United Kingdom.
