We’re delighted to share that Fortus has been recognised as one of the Top 75 accountancy firms in the UK by Business & Accountancy Daily. 
 

Being listed alongside some of the industry’s most established names marks an important milestone for our business. More than that, recognition in a respected national ranking is a strong endorsement of how we work and the relationships we’ve built with ambitious businesses across Yorkshire.

A changing profession 

This year’s Top 75 report highlights a profession in transition. While the largest firms are seeing slower growth, mid-tier and regional firms such as ours are gaining momentum, driven by investment, innovation and a stronger focus on advisory services. 

There’s a clear shift happening. Technology is changing how compliance work is delivered, and businesses are looking for more insight, more clarity and more support in making decisions. That’s where firms like Fortus are stepping in. 

Built around our clients 

At Fortus, we’ve always believed that joining up services creates better outcomes. 

By bringing together tax advisory, accounts, audit, business finance and wealth management, we’re able to give our clients a complete view of their financial position. That means we can spot opportunities earlier, solve problems faster and help business owners focus on what matters most. 

It’s a joined-up approach that continues to deliver results, with 97% of our clients choosing to stay with us year after year. 

Proud to be a Yorkshire firm 

While this is a national recognition, our focus remains firmly local. 

We’re proud to be growing alongside the communities and businesses we serve in York, Leeds, Scarborough and across Yorkshire. As an independent firm, we care about long-term relationships and sustainable growth, not just short-term gains. 

That extends beyond our clients. Through the Fortus Academy, we’re developing the next generation of talent to build careers right here in Yorkshire, and through the Fortus Foundation, we’re supporting grassroots organisations making a real difference in our region. 

Looking ahead 

Being named in the Top 75 is something we’re incredibly proud of, but it’s not the end goal. 

We’ll continue to invest in our people, our services and our technology to make sure we’re giving Yorkshire businesses the clarity, confidence and support they need to grow. 

Thank you to our clients, our team and our wider community for being part of the journey so far. 

Carousel of customer testimonials.

With a rapidly expanding manufacturing business and cashflow a constant problem, our bank wouldn’t offer further borrowing, expensive short-term loans seemed the only answer. Fortus took time to understand our business and requirements, presented our story to lenders and had 4 offers within 2 weeks, saving us £20,000 per month in debt repayment.

Fortus are knowledgeable, strategic, and genuinely invested in understanding my full financial picture. Their advice is thoughtful and long-term focused.
