Duncan & Toplis win prestigious regional award

Accountancy firm Duncan & Toplis has been named Best Large Practice for 2019 at the ICAEW East Midlands Awards.

It's the second time in consecutive years Duncan & Toplis has won a title at the ICAEW East Midlands Awards, having won the award for Best Medium Practice for three years previously.

Duncan & Toplis, based locally in Enterprise Way, Pinchbeck, is now the 30th largest accountancy company in the UK and won the title at a black-tie ceremony held in Nottingham last Friday.

The ICAEW East Midlands Awards are one of the region’s most prestigious awards for the accountancy profession. The ICAEW is a world leading professional membership organisation for chartered accountants, with more than 180,000 members, including 6,000 members in the East Midlands.

Judges praised Duncan & Toplis for its commitment to client service and its work to support the community.

One of the judges, president of Nottingham, Derby & Lincoln Society of Chartered Accountants, Anshu Mehan, said: “Selection of best large practice award winner has always been a difficult task, with very high standards delivered by all applicants.

"Duncan & Toplis joining the Top 30 UK accountancy practices and winning Gold Award from Investor in Customers at the same time were notable achievements for the practice and were contributing factors in the judges’ overall decision."

The company was also singled out for the support it’s given to companies in rural areas which it has helped switch to digital accountancy solutions ahead of changes to taxation laws; for its work to support the local community and good causes, and for its partnership with the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) in Lincoln.

Adrian Reynolds, Managing Director of Duncan & Toplis said: “I couldn’t be more proud of our team and this award shows just how good we are."

Other finalists included Deloitte and PwC.
