32 Acquisitions & a Move to Dubai: How to Run a Massive UK Firm Remotely

In this episode of Moving to Dubai, I’m joined by Steve Sharp, CEO of Nuvo, for an open and honest conversation about scaling a massive UK accounting firm through acquisition and the reality of running it entirely from Dubai. Steve shares his personal journey of building a 240-person team across 16 offices and why he chose to relocate to the UAE three years ago while keeping his business operations strictly in the UK. We talk about the transition from being a "hands-on" founder to a strategic remote leader, the importance of empowering your team through distance, and the lifestyle factors—from security to the golf course—that make Dubai a long-term home for his family. Throughout the episode, we dive into: The Acquisition Model: How Steve completed 32 acquisitions to grow his firm into a UK powerhouse. Remote Leadership at Scale: Navigating the time difference and using distance to foster better decision-making within the team. Why Dubai vs. the UK: The cultural and security benefits of the UAE, including the "magic" of safety for families. Tax and Residency Realities: The crucial distinction between personal and corporate tax when moving abroad. The Strategic Founder: How moving to Dubai provided the headspace needed to focus on vision rather than day-to-day office distractions. This conversation is especially valuable for business owners wanting to understand how to detach from daily operations, entrepreneurs looking to scale through acquisition, and any UK professional curious about living in Dubai while working for their home-based business. 👋 I’m Jeri Williams, the UK’s most followed accountant on LinkedIn and founder of Smooth Accounting (UK & UAE).
