List of Accountancy Firms
This list of accountancy firms sets out the top 100 firms in the UK by total UK fee income.
Consisting of global players, national firms, and regional and local practices, accountancy firms in the UK offer a wide range of services spanning advisory, audit and assurance, tax, risk consulting and management consulting, and capital and transaction management.
UK accountancy firms also work across a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, banking, construction, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, transportation, wealth management, media, government and public sector, manufacturing, private equity, technology, oil and energy, financial services, healthcare, insurance, professional services, real estate, retail, and telecommunications.
From first position to 100th position, firms in the UK are focused on providing a valued and trusted service to their clients, and are targeting growth in an environment disrupted by Brexit, political uncertainty, economic volatility and technological advancements.
Technology is a key issue for firms in the UK, with the accountancy industry looking for ways in which to leverage new systems and software to enhance their services, while adapting to an advisory role away from traditional bookkeeping activities. This change has the potential to open up numerous opportunities for accountants in the UK and a chance to contribute to a business’ strategic vision and adding value in client services.
