Accounting Excellence Awards

Accountancy Firm of the Year Award

The practice clients and accountants both rate highest.

About this category

This award recognises an accountancy practice that has delivered outstanding service to clients, grown sustainably and looked after its people. Judges look for client outcomes, quality, growth and culture.

Eligibility

Open to accountancy practices of any size in the UK.

Judging criteria

  • Quality and compliance

Qualitative criteria

  • A clear identity
  • Consistent quality and a reputation clients speak well of

Metrics

  • Fee growth

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client or colleague evidence. Client names and commercially sensitive numbers may be anonymised or given as percentages and ranges, and nothing in an entry is ever shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the practice or team, so sole practitioners and smaller firms compete on equal terms.
