One of the region’s largest independent accountancy firms is in the running for a prestigious industry accolade.
Baldwins Accountants, which has 10 offices throughout the Midlands, has been shortlisted for the Mid-Tier Firm of the Year in the British Accountancy Awards 2013.
The British Accountancy Awards attracted a record number of entries in their third year of recognising firms that have demonstrated excellence in the profession during the past 12 months.
David Baldwin, a partner at Baldwins Accountants, said: “To be shortlisted in these Awards which recognise firms that have provided the highest quality of service to their clients is a fantastic achievement of which we are really proud.
“It is testament to the hard work and dedication of all of our team which has seen our business grow as a specialist in accountancy and business advisory services.”
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on Wednesday, November 20 – the night before the inaugural winner of Baldwins Kick Start 2013 is unveiled.
Baldwins Kick Start is an initiative launched this year to help young entrepreneurs start their own business.
The firm will give away £300,000 over the next decade to 30 budding entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 25 years from across the Midlands, with the winner receiving a grant of £10,000 along with £10,000 worth of mentoring and accountancy advice.
Two runners-up will each be awarded £5,000 of mentoring and accountancy advice.
David added: “The launch of our Kick Start programme has been a highlight for the firm this year and it promises to be an incredibly exciting week with our first winner being announced the night after we find out whether we have been successful in the British Accountancy Awards.”
An online form to enter Baldwins Kick Start, along with the terms and conditions to submit applications and business plans before September 30, 2013, is available at www.baldwinsaccountants.co.uk
All profits from the gala dinner being held at Villa Park on Thursday, November 21 to announce the first Kick Start winner will go to HelpHarryHelpOthers, official charity partner of Baldwins Accountants. More details can be found at www.baldwinsaccountants.co.uk
