Awards & Accreditations

As ACCA accredited members, Leavitt Walmsley Associates Ltd also hold the award of ACCA Approved Employer – Practising Certificate Development, in recognition of the support provided to ACCA trainees and members who are training towards an ACCA practising certificate and audit qualification.

We are proud to have been awarded Gold Champion Partner status by Xero accounting software. This partnership allows us to build a stronger business relationship with clients and offer a proactive approach to reporting, helping to recognise any potential issues affecting cash flow, providing expert advice, and curating a suitable plan for intervention and prevention.

LWA are Futrli Certified Advisors, which means we have the tools and expertise to produce even better Management Accounts supporting our clients with vital business forecasting information. Particularly since Coronavirus has impacted so many businesses, we've assisted government Coronavirus loan applications with successful outcomes.

At LWA we have invested in the Dext platform (formerly Receipt Bank) as we believe this is the future of bookkeeping. As Pioneer accredited partners with Dext, we are offering this service for £15+vat per month to all our clients, saving you £10 per month per subscription if you were to sign up individually.

LWA achieved the Free Agent Partner accreditation in 2020 to further assist clients using this accounting software.

The Professional Member of the Year Award recognises members who have demonstrated outstanding achievements and career success, and having landed exclusive deals with market leading providers such as IRIS, representing the UK on the editorial board for a global publishing firm, and written a number of books in the past 12 months alone, Director, Steve Collings was a perfect fit for the accolade. The quality of entries was extremely high for the 2017 awards, so making the shortlist of just 4 members and being ‘Highly Commended’ was an outstanding achievement for Steve.

We are delighted to have been shortlisted at the industry’s most prestigious awards once again – this time in the Most Innovative Practice category. The awards will be judged and culminate in a glittering black-tie dinner and ceremony in the Capital city at The Brewery London, where winners will be announced on the 29th November.

This year, we are delighted to announce that the firm has been shortlisted in two categories at the 2014 British Accountancy Awards – Independent Firm of the Year Scotland and North England, and Steve Collings for Practitioner of the Year. The winners of these prestigious industry awards will be announced on Tuesday 25th November and The Brewery in London.

2013 was a successful year for LWA as a firm, as we were short listed as Professional Services Provider of the Year at the Altrincham & Sale Chamber Business Awards, a fantastic achievement for us within our local area.
