Regional accountancy firm Bishop Fleming, which has its largest office in Bristol, is celebrating leaping up the accounting industry’s most prestigious league table.
The firm has broken into the top 30 of leading industry magazine Accountancy Age’s rankings for the first time.
It achieved a 12% annual turnover increase to £22.3m through organic growth in the past year, lifting it three places to number 30 in the table.
Accountancy Age’s Top 50+50 table is published each year by Accountancy Age. It is based on fee income and is regarded as one of the definitive lists of the UK’s leading accountancy firms.
Bishop Fleming, which has seven offices across the South West and West Midlands, said its performance this year cemented its position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing advisory firms. It has 29 partners and well over 300 staff in its seven offices across the West Midlands and South West.
Partner Jonathan Williams said: “Our ranking as a top 30 firm reflects our strengthening team and is recognition of how we help our clients to achieve their full potential. Our business growth enables us to continually invest in new talent to expand our team even further.
“Despite uncertainty over Brexit, Bishop Fleming has continued to experience rapid growth in demand for our services across all sectors. The firm is set to expand even further with the forthcoming digital tax revolution and other key issues including Big Data analytics.”
The firm recently celebrated 12 of its existing people qualifying as Chartered Accountants and has also been shortlisted in the Large Practice category of AccountingWEB’s Practice Excellence Awards.
