This confirmed its status as the biggest accounting firm in the UK.

For the last two years, turnover at the firm has grown by 25% with growth in each of those years of £200m.

Underlying operating profits grew 24% to £577m, while partner numbers rose by 5% to 793 partners and average profit per partner was up 17% to £716,000.
