South: Whitley Stimpson named as finalist in British Accountancy Awards

Leading chartered accountants and business advisers Whitley Stimpson has been shortlisted for the Community Award at the British Accountancy Awards 2014.

Whitley Stimpson is one of only five firms in the country shortlisted in this category and the winners will be announced on November 25 at the Awards Ceremony in London.

This prestigious industry award seeks to recognise the firm using accountancy professionalism and advice to bring greatest benefit to a deserving group or the wider community. The community initiative, project or support must feature a substantial educational, charitable or socially responsible aspect that goes beyond the core goals of the organisation.

Whitley Stimpson’s submission for this award was largely driven by the ongoing success of their specialist education team which is rapidly becoming known for its excellence in providing support to academies, multi academy trusts and free schools.

Director Nick Bullen said: “Being shortlisted for this award is testament to the fantastic work achieved and it’s great to receive such prestigious external recognition.”
