About DSW Capital
DSW Capital, owner of the Dow
Schofield Watts brand, is a profitable, mid-market, challenger
professional services network with a cash generative business model
and scalable platform for growth. Originally established in 2002,
by three KPMG alumni, Dow Schofield Watts is one of the first
platform models disrupting the traditional model of accounting
professional services firms. DSW Capital operates licensing
arrangements with 24 licensee businesses with over 100 fee earners,
eleven offices across the UK. These trade primarily under the Dow
Schofield Watts brand.
DSW Capital's vision is for Dow
Schofield Watts to become the most sought-after destination for
ambitious, entrepreneurial professionals to start and develop their
own businesses. Through a licensing model, DSW Capital gives
professionals the autonomy and flexibility to fulfil their
potential. Being part of Dow Schofield Watts brings support
benefits in recruitment, funding and infrastructure. DSW's
challenger model attracts experienced, senior professionals,
predominantly with a "Big 4" accounting firm background, who want
to launch their own businesses and recognise the value of the Dow
Schofield Watts brand and the synergies which come from being part
of the DSW Network.
DSW Capital aims to scale its agile
model through organic growth, geographical expansion, additional
service lines and investing in "Break Outs" (existing teams in
larger firms). The Directors are targeting high margin,
complementary, niche service lines with a strong synergistic fit
with the existing network.
