Peterborough accountants are chosen by their peers in the UK’s Accounting Firm of the Year Awards
On 7 October at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, in front of 349 fellow accountants from across the country, Peterborough based GreenStones were named as the 2008/9 UK Accounting Firm of The Year runners-up.
The Award, sponsored by AVN, is the only one of its kind where the winners are chosen by a panel of fellow accountants. Explaining their success, AVN’s Chairman Steve Pipe said:
“GreenStones are blazing a trail for other accountants to follow. Even in the face of the recession their proactive approach is helping their clients to grow, to create jobs and to become more successful. And as a result they are redefining what businesses should expect from their accountants.”
Immediately after their Award success GreenStones director Simon Chaplin said:
“There are 20,000 accountancy firms in the UK so to be named as one of the most exciting and forward-thinking firms in the country is something we are enormously proud of. Businesses deserve more than they have traditionally received from accountants and we are determined to give it to them. We are now looking forward to finding out how we have done in the Accountancy Age Awards which are announced in London on 12th November and the Peterborough Evening Telegraph awards that are announced two days later.”
GreenStones are offering the first 20 readers to call them on 0845 466 7000 the chance to test drive their new £1000 anti-recession service for free. Designed to put tens, or perhaps even hundreds, of thousands of pounds in extra cash into your bank account, the anti-recession service uses leading-edge proprietary processes to identify how to improve your tax bills, growth rate, profitability, cashflow, take-home and the value of your business.
