Well… this happened.
I’m not quite sure I have the words for this one.
We are officially an Accounting Excellence Awards 2026 finalist — and I’ll be honest, this means so much to me.
As a small business owner, I’ve been incredibly lucky and grateful to have received recognition at a number of awards events over the past three years. Every single one has meant something and has given me a moment to stop, reflect and feel proud of how far we’ve come.
But this one feels different.
This is recognition from within our own industry. This is being named alongside some of the absolute best of the best in the UK accountancy profession. Firms, individuals and teams who are doing incredible things, raising standards and shaping the future of accountancy.
To be included in that company is genuinely overwhelming.
When you’re building a business, you spend so much time looking forward. Thinking about the next client, the next deadline, the next challenge, the next improvement. You don’t always stop to take in what you’re creating.
So today, I’m taking a moment.
A moment to feel proud of the practice we are building.
A moment to recognise the hard work, care and determination that goes into what we do every day.
A moment to appreciate the clients who trust us, support us and allow us to be part of their journey.
And a huge moment to thank the team, because none of this happens without you.
This recognition means the world because it reflects everything we are working towards: building a forward-thinking accountancy practice that genuinely makes a difference to the people and businesses we support.
Whatever happens next, being named an Accounting Excellence Awards finalist is something I will never take for granted.
Thank you, Accounting Excellence Awards, for this incredible recognition.
I’m proud, grateful and, honestly, still letting it sink in.
