Bishop Fleming has announced plans to launch a new office in Birmingham, England in January 2025, strengthening their foothold in the Midlands.
This move is part of the firm’s ‘Better Growth’ business strategy, aiming to double its size through organic growth and operational transformation.
The Birmingham office will mark the company’s ninth location and is expected to host full-service operations across its core service lines – audit, accountancy, tax, and advisory.
The new office will be situated in the Colmore Business District.
Bishop Fleming has hired a senior figure from a Big Four firm as a new Audit Partner for the Birmingham office.
Bishop Fleming managing partner Andrew Sandiford said: “Our strategy for Birmingham is to scale up quickly through rewarding, organic growth. As such, we have every intention for Birmingham to become one of the largest offices on our portfolio within the next few years.
