Oury Clark joins Applio Ventures’ SME Champion Scheme in support of the DBT's Industrial Strategy and PBS growth policy.
Oury Clark is a UK-headquartered multidisciplinary professional services firm with 200 people across two offices in the UK, serving mid-market businesses, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals alongside a recurring base of cross-border clients. The firm supports internationally active companies and private clients across the US, APAC, and Europe, offering integrated expertise spanning legal, tax, accounting, and advisory services. Major milestones in recent years include the expansion of its US personal tax capabilities within the UK, and specialist teams spanning Sustainability and ESG. The firm has experienced significant levels of organic growth and operates at a scale ranking among the UK’s Top 50 accounting practices.
Supporting Government Objectives for SME GrowthThe Government places exports and international competitiveness at the centre of its Professional and Business Services (PBS) growth strategy - recognising that the UK’s strongest growth opportunities in professional services lie in supporting clients across borders and scaling British expertise into global markets.
Oury Clark aligns closely with this agenda, with a proven record of advising internationally active businesses and private clients across jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the Nordic region, and India. The firm is actively deepening its cross-border capabilities through the development of an Australian office presence, the expansion of its US franchise through its already-established links in Colorado, and the development of a European office. Alongside this, Oury Clark is building its “Firm Friends” initiative - an international network - to better support clients operating across global jurisdictions. The scale of Oury Clark’s international expansion demonstrates the sheer demand for high-quality, British-led advisory services, and is a clear example of a firm that is strengthening the UK’s professional services export footprint.
Oury Clark is a strong example of a modern UK professional services firm building real international reach. Their integrated expertise and focus on cross-border growth speaks directly to the government’s ambition to strengthen services exports and support globally competitive SMEs. They bring valuable insight into how British advisory firms scale across jurisdictions.
