The acquisitions of the two financial planning firms will add £250m in assets to Fairstone’s books.
A total of 13 advisers as well as support staff will join Fairstone as part of the transactions.
Fairstone CEO Lee Hartley said: “We have seen enormous growth through our DBO programme in the past year, from IFA companies who recognise the strength of our proposition. Where we identify real quality in a business, we will work with those companies to achieve their growth targets, lift the regulatory burden and support them with marketing and client activation initiatives.
“This approach has led to an average organic growth rate of 15% within our existing partner firms and we look forward to bringing some of these companies to the full-acquisition stage in the coming year.”
