A Wirral accountancy company has been named one of the country's top 100 firms in the industry.

The Accountancy Partnership has joined the prestigious list of Top 50+50 Accountancy Firms for the first time.

The Birkenhead-based accountancy practice was founded by Lee Murphy 17 years ago with an aim to “disrupt an industry much in need of change” from the image of unapproachable accountants.

Mr Murphy claims his company’s three core principles – accessibility, affordability, and expertise – underpin The Accountancy Partnership’s successful model for accounting in the digital age.

“Being placed on the list is a great achievement, and reflects the team’s dedication. We’re committed to bringing ongoing growth and new opportunities to the region.”

Published by Accountancy Age, the top 100 list profiles the best UK accountants each year, with The Accountancy Partnership making its debut at number 88 due to “extraordinary growth” over the past 12 months.

The online trade publication claims the ‘data is used to provide a detailed snapshot of the industry’, and allows them to ‘put a spotlight on those shaping and defining UK accountancy’.
