The team at Duncan & Toplis are toasting its success after being named as Large Accountancy Firm of the Year 2017 for the first time.

The prize, awarded by the East Midlands ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales), comes after the firm’s previous reign as Medium Accountancy Firm of the Year – a title they held three years in a row.

The awards, handed out each year, seek to celebrate the success of regional ICAEW firms, with the large accountancy firm award only open to practices with 26 or more partners or principals.

Adrian Reynolds, Managing Director at Duncan & Toplis, said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded this prestigious title and it adds to what has already been an exciting year for the firm. We have promoted some of our promising individuals to director level recently and we are looking forward to developing our future growth as a firm.

“The promotions, combined with our continuing focus on supporting new generations in the form of graduates and trainees, sit alongside our drive to adopt technology and innovation in delivering our services. We feel this will properly equip us to meet the challenges the business world will inevitably face over the coming years.”

The firm was handed the prize at the annual ICAEW dinner at Eastwood Hall, Nottingham, on Friday (17th March). Duncan & Toplis was judged to be the firm that has made the most significant contribution to the economic prosperity of the East Midlands in over the past year.

The judges looked at several criteria, including business success, contribution to the local economy and the firm’s involvement in the wellbeing of the region’s residents through charitable and voluntary activities.
