TLDR (too long didn’t read):
We’ve been shortlisted for not one, but two categories, at the prestigious Accounting Excellence Awards 2025: Employer of the Year (Small Firm) and ESG Excellence. The winners will be revealed on 30 September 2025. It’s a proud moment for our team and a celebration of the values that drive us every day.
Celebrating excellence, together
We’re thrilled to share some brilliant news — Harland Accountants has been shortlisted for two awards at the Accounting Excellence Awards 2025:
- Employer of the Year (Small Firm)
- ESC Excellence
These awards shine a national spotlight on the very best in the accounting profession, and being recognised in not one but two categories is a huge honour. It’s a moment of pride for our whole team and a reflection of the work we do every day to support our clients, our colleagues, and our community.
What are the Accounting Excellence Awards?
Founded in 2010, the Accounting Excellence Awards celebrate ambition, innovation, and impact in the UK accountancy profession. Organised by AccountingWEB, they’re considered one of the most prestigious accolades in our industry. With categories recognising everything from digital transformation to client service, team culture to specialist advisory work, the awards showcase firms who are pushing the profession forward. They highlight what’s possible when strong relationships, a growth mindset, and generosity of spirit lead the way — values that sit at the heart of everything we do here at Harland.

Why these categories matter
Employer of the Year (Small Firm)
This category recognises firms that go the extra mile to create a supportive, inclusive and thriving workplace culture. This one means a lot to us. We’ve worked hard to build a company where people genuinely enjoy coming to work — a place where wellbeing matters, careers flourish, and everyone feels part of something bigger.
ESG Excellence
Our shortlisting for ESG Excellence (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) reflects our commitment to making a positive impact, not just for our clients but for our wider community and the planet too. From team volunteering and mental health first aid to championing flexible working and sustainability, this nomination celebrates our belief that doing good is good business.
A massive thank you to our team
These nominations belong to every single person in the Harland team. It’s your drive, care and collaboration that made this possible, and we’re proud beyond words. Whether you’re client-facing or behind the scenes, you’re shaping a business that’s brave, bold, and brilliant at what it does.

When’s the big night?
The winners will be announced on Tuesday 30 September 2025 at a glittering ceremony in London. We’ll be there, suited, booted, and cheering loudly — whatever the outcome!
