Leeds’ Haines Watts wins FD Excellence Award

The Leeds office of national accountancy firm, Haines Watts, has won Accountancy Firm of the Year – SMEs, at the annual FDs Excellence Awards.

The award comes on the back of having won Auditor of the Year for the past two years.

The awards recognise the service providers that support Britain’s finance community using the results of an annual survey, in which FDs and financial decision-makers recorded their opinion.

The prestigious awards ceremony was held in Grosvenor Square, London and hosted by Real Business in association with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and supported by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

Haines Watts beat competition from other major regional and national accounting firms. Peter Bancroft, Managing partner at Haines Watts in Leeds, commented: “This type of award really matters to us because it’s voted for by business people and not by an academic panel of experts.”

“It’s fantastic that we are the first firm ever to have won an award in three consecutive years. We are proud of all of our staff who do an outstanding job for our clients day to day and who have contributed towards us winning this award.”
