Regional accountancy firm Bishop Fleming has achieved Platinum Champion Partner status with Xero, the global leader in cloud-based accounting software. The firm, whose Bath office is the city’s largest accountancy practice, is now in the top 2% of Xero accountants.
The Bishop Fleming team achieved the milestone as a result of significant growth in the number of clients chosing to run their business using the latest technology since the launch of Bishop Fleming Accounting Solutions a year ago. 
Bishop Fleming chose to partner with Xero for its cloud platform having made the strategic direction to offer cloud-based accounting.
Since then the firm’s clients have been taking advantage of the flexibility and benefits that cloud accounting provides, such as intuitive real-time, integrated software.
Bishop Fleming partner Hazel Tucker, pictured, said: “Xero gives our clients the control and insight they need to take their business forward. By embracing the latest technology we are future-proofing clients against the government's intended digital tax revolution.”
“Xero works very well for a large range of businesses particularly with the inevitable roll out of making tax digital. The platform will significantly streamline the quarterly tax reporting requirements, along with many other advantages. Bishop Fleming, as specialists, are there every step of the way to guide clients as needed.”
Bishop Fleming, which has seven offices across the South West and Midlands, was recently shortlisted as one of the best ‘Top 50 Tax Teams' in the UK at the British Accountancy Awards and was also highly commended as ‘Mid-Tier Firm of the Year'.
The firm’s professional services include tax, accounting and payroll to a large number of owner managed businesses.
