Alongside the Big 4 and Top 10 national firms, the highly competitive independent accountancy landscape caters for the accounting and finance needs of multinationals and growth companies. In our experience, succession planning is a priority for many firms, while larger players are tackling the challenges of staff retention and market positioning.
