Two West Midlands financial services firms have merged.
Solihull-based accountants and business advisory practice Jerroms has joined forces with financial management outfit Blue Sky Corporate Finance.
The deal has further expanded the Jerroms' services which already include accountancy, business advice, financial planning, mortgages and access to commercial finance.
Blue Sky was founded in 1998 and specialises in providing corporate finance, due diligence, accountancy and consultancy services to SMEs across a wide range of sectors from offices in Birmingham and Bromsgrove.
It will be rebranded as Jerroms Corporate Finance and operate from Jerroms headquarters on Blythe Valley Park while Blue Sky accountancy services will relocate to Jerroms' office in Bromsgrove.

Alongside Mr Markou and fellow director Mark Eden, Jerroms Corporate Finance will be headed up by Paul Heaven, the former managing director of Blue Sky.
Mr Heaven said: "Jerroms is an expanding business and it was the right time for Blue Sky to become part of a bigger organisation with significant growth ambitions and increased resources.
"With many synergies between the two businesses, we are pleased to have found the right partner and are all looking forward to joining the Jerroms team and helping to grow the business further."
Jerroms was founded in 1972 and has more than 100 employees.
