Leading audit, accountancy, tax, and advisory firm, Bishop Fleming, has been named Best Tax Practice in a Regional Firm at the Tolley’s Tax Awards 2025.

The award recognises Bishop Fleming’s success in delivering market-leading tax services, technical expertise, and innovative solutions to businesses and individuals across the UK.

It follows a year of sustained double-digit growth, significant client wins, and continued investment in talent, technology, and client experience.

Chris Walklett, partner and head of Corporate Tax, added: “Winning this award is a fantastic recognition of the expertise, dedication, and client-first approach that defines our tax team.

“We’re proud to deliver technically robust, innovative, and tailored advice to clients across the region and beyond, helping them navigate complex tax landscapes while driving sustainable growth.

“This success also reflects our ongoing investment in our people and the business. Over the past year, we’ve strengthened our team with senior hires from Big Four and top 10 firms and enhanced our client experience through technology and process innovation, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value in an increasingly complex environment.”

Bishop Fleming has seen double-digit growth over the last eight years and is on track to exceed fees of £50m in 2025.

The firm continues to invest in its future, having appointed five new Partners in the last 12 months.

It plans to promote or recruit at least six more in the next few months to strengthen its leadership and support its growing client base.

As part of its commitment to developing future talent, it will also welcome 70 new apprentices in 2025 through its Ofsted Outstanding-accredited Apprentice programme.

Andrew Sandiford, managing partner at Bishop Fleming, commented: “This award is a powerful endorsement of the exceptional talent, commitment, and collaborative spirit that define Bishop Fleming.

“It reflects the values we stand for - building trusted relationships, delivering outstanding service, and investing in our people to help them thrive.
