Bideford based accountants Accountancy Edge has been named as one of the most inspiring accountancy practices in the world.
They were awarded the accolade as a result of being selected for inclusion in the new book “The world’s most inspiring accountants” which was published on 27 April 2016 and in which a whole chapter is dedicated to this inspirational firm. Announcing our inclusion, chartered accountant Steve Pipe, the book’s author who led the research team said:
“Over a hundred thousand accountancy practices from across the world were eligible, but after a rigorous 18 month research process only 57 of them from 10 countries made the cut. And in fact Accountancy Edge are the only firm in Devon to feature in the book, which is an extraordinary achievement.
It is also a richly deserved accolade, because they really are making a profound difference to their clients, community and the wider world. For example, they helped one entrepreneur to identify what was really important to them. And to make those priorities a reality they then helped him to sell a time-hungry business for the asking price, and replace it by developing a highly profitable and less demanding second business in order to free up much more time to spend with his family. As a result the lives of the entrepreneur and his family are richer in every sense of the word.
Along with the other firms in the book, Accountancy Edge are helping to raise the bar for accountants across the world: inspiring an entire profession, and showing it how to make more of a difference by serving clients better than ever before. And one thing is really clear… the world would be a much better place if more accountants were like them.”
Reacting to their inclusion in the book, Accountancy Edge’s director James Hellyer said:
“We are humbled and proud to be named as one of the world’s most inspiring accountants. We have always believed passionately in the role accountants play in creating a better world by helping to make businesses more successful, creating jobs and generating wealth. So it is wonderful to see our commitment to those things being recognised on a global stage.”
