- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “The year ended 31 March 2025 was a strong year for the firm. This was the final year in our 2020-2025 strategic cycle, with the five year strategy coming to an end in March 2025.”
- “The firm has grown sustainably, ensuring that we continue to invest in strategic hires in our core practice areas and business services functions. We have also further invested in our international presence and were delighted to build our footprint in the US with the launch of a further liaison office in Boston in early 2024.”
- “We were also grateful this year to continue supporting our highly successful Innovation for All fund. This charitable initiative was set up to give 1% of all annual profits to charities chosen by colleagues. We added 4 new charities to our program Brian Tumour Research, Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK, Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity and Support Dogs.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
