A new firm that has started as it means to go on.
About this category
This award recognises an accountancy practice founded within the last three years that has built a strong client base, a clear proposition and solid foundations. Judges look for early results, client feedback and a sustainable plan.

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.
