Four in a row for Aberdeen firm at British Accountancy Awards

Aberdeen-based accountancy firm Infinity Partnership has won at the British Accountancy Awards for the fourth year in a row.

The accountancy and business advisory practice was named 2018 Independent Firm of the Year (Scotland, Northern Ireland and North England) for the third time in four years at the prestigious awards ceremony in London last night.

The firm landed the regional honour last year and in 2015, with managing director Simon Cowie winning Partner of the Year in 2016.

It is the second national award in a week for Infinity having won Small Practice of the Year at the 2018 Accounting Excellence Awards. In addition, Infinity has been shortlisted in eight categories at next month’s IRIS Customer Awards in London.

Simon Cowie said: “We’re thrilled to have won this award for the third time. A fourth award in a row at the prestigious British Accountancy Awards is a tremendous achievement for the business.

“Our team works extremely hard to deliver outstanding customer service and our investment in modern accountancy software has led to an enhanced service for our clients. These were factors in our award success and we’re absolutely delighted to have won this honour again.”

Infinity was also shortlisted in two other categories on the night – Simon again in Partner of the Year and client manager Greg Houston in Rising Star of the Year, but did not come out on top on this occasion.

The latest awards success follows on from Infinity’s seven-figure investment in prestigious offices in the West End of the city in May.

Infinity now has a team of 20. It is recognised for its accountancy, research and development tax relief, mergers & acquisitions and corporate finance expertise, in particular in the oil & gas sector.

Since 2011, the firm has completed more than 80 merger and acquisition deals worth over £325m.
