TC Group moves into the Top 20 Accountancy Firms in the UK

In the latest Accountancy Age Top 50+50 firm rankings, TC Group has made a notable leap, climbing four positions to secure 20th place. This achievement is primarily driven by a remarkable 69% growth in income fees compared to the previous year. The firm’s ascent in the rankings can be attributed to a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions across various regions, alongside an expansion of value-added specialist services for existing clients.

A key element that sets TC Group apart from other consolidated firms is the autonomy it offers to its partner firms. TC Group values and preserves the independence of its individual practices, allowing them to retain their identity while benefiting from the shared resources, expertise, and market reach of the broader group. This unique approach empowers partners to maintain their entrepreneurial spirit, fostering innovation and personal business growth, while still having access to the extensive support and opportunities within the TC Group.

In addition, TC Group’s model also supports succession planning, structure designed to facilitate transitions and long-term sustainability, making it an attractive option for firms looking for a robust succession plan. By combining autonomy with strategic support, TC Group allows partners to plan for the future without losing the essence of what makes their business unique. 

Grant Bartholomew, TC Group Executive Chairman comments: “We’re extremely pleased with the growth we’ve achieved this year and this reflects how well received our unique model continues to be in the market.

The autonomy we offer to Partners along with our equity structure allowing for future succession planning remains two of the most attractive benefits of our model.

We’re also particularly pleased with the additional specialist service lines we’ve successfully integrated into the group this year and the value add this has created for all parties not least our clients.”
