Diverger has acquired technology services firm Priority Networking, a specialist firm in advising and provider of technology needs for small and medium-sized business.

This would provide technology and cyber protection to its network of 3,500 accounting and advice firms, a topic the firm said had become increasingly important over the past 12 months.

The partnership would facilitate the day-to-day technology infrastructure and cyber protection servicing of firms and ensure technology infrastructure was operated efficiently and was compliant with software developments and regulations. 

Diverger chief executive, Nathan Jacobsen, said: “Diverger has a clear growth strategy to become the leading service provider to advice and accounting firms, and to do that, we must forecast and deliver the services they need to grow and protect their businesses.

“Advisers and accountants are actively talking to us about these issues in an ever-changing environment, so it is important we fill this need as well as provide business owners access to other technology solutions.”

Priority Networking and its 30 staff would integrate with Diverger over the coming months.
