Duncan & Toplis named a finalist in 2021 Accounting Excellence Awards

East Midlands accountancy and business adviser, Duncan & Toplis has been named a finalist for one of the biggest awards in the accounting profession.

The company, which supports more than 12,000 businesses and individuals, has been shortlisted for the Large Firm of the Year award in the 2021 Accounting Excellence Awards.

The shortlist puts Duncan & Toplis ahead of some of the largest accountancy groups in the country and it is the only Midlands-based company to appear as a finalist in the Large Firm category.

For over a decade, the Accounting Excellence awards have recognised the most innovative, ambitious and successful accounting firms, individuals and vendors within the UK.

With a record number of entries this year, the awards recognise those who demonstrate exceptional client service, technological innovations and support for pandemic-hit businesses.

Revealing the shortlist, editor of AccountingWEB Richard Hattersley, who sits on the judges panel for the awards, wrote:

“This year’s award entries told the story of the accounting profession’s heroic efforts over the past 12-18 months and how the best performing firms capitalised on strengthened client relationships to expand their services.

“The pandemic featured heavily in the majority of entries … so it’s no surprise there’s a greater emphasis on people issues this year. These challenges were twofold; first, there was the toll of the virus and the resulting client demands and then there was the transition to remote working, which has continued as pandemic restrictions were lifted.”
