Gravita Business Services Limited

Based in London, UK, and founded in 1879 by Alfred Henry, Gravita Business Services Limited, formerly known as JEFFREYS HENRY BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED, offers a diverse range of accounting, audit, tax, and advisory services aimed at enhancing operational efficiency for businesses across multiple sectors. In October 2024, Gravita Business Services Limited, a portfolio company of Tenzing Private Equity, acquired Critchleys LLP. Further in February 2025, Ardian acquired Gravita Business Services Limited.   Gravita specializes in providing a comprehensive suite of accounting, audit, tax, and advisory services intended for ambitious businesses.

Their core offerings include accountancy, independent audits, outsourced payroll solutions, corporate tax advisory, and management of statutory compliance. These services are intended to improve operational efficiency for clients across various sectors, including financial services, technology, property, and hospitality. Gravita employs advanced cloud-based technology, allowing clients to easily upload documents and access their financial information through secure portals. Their client base includes both small enterprises and larger AIM-listed firms operating in markets such as the UK, Europe, and beyond.

Gravita generates revenue primarily through its professional service offerings, structured around retainer agreements and project-based fees for consulting and compliance services. The firm's transactions typically involve structured engagements where clients pay for specific services, such as annual audits or ongoing bookkeeping, on a subscription or one-time fee basis. The February 2025 acquisition will support the company's organic growth.
