    This morning, our full business – across our Bolton, Manchester and Liverpool offices – came together for an end-of-year round-up. We wanted to take a look at what we’ve achieved this year - including becoming a part of Sumer and moving into our new Head Office - as well as what we’ve got to look forward to over the next 12 months (spoiler, there’s a lot!) 👏 We covered everything from training and progression opportunities, to growth, investment and recruitment! It’s always a treat to get the full company together, and even more so ahead of our Christmas Party celebration at the end of next week 🎄 We just want to give a huge thank you to each and every one of our colleagues for making Cowgills what it is. And to quote a recent testimonial we received from a client – carry on doing what you do! 💙

    I couldn’t be prouder to announce that Sumer has been recognised in this year’s Top 50+50 Accountancy Firms, by Accountancy Age! It's official, we're now the fastest growing accountancy firm in the UK! 🎉 When we founded Sumer, we set out to champion small to medium-sized businesses across the UK and Ireland. We strive to give them the support they deserve - while never losing sight of the human side of what we do. It’s not just about numbers or rankings (#16 is a great start 😁); it’s about the incredible team that made it happen and the trust of the clients who believe in us. This milestone is a reminder of how far we’ve come, but also how much further we want to go. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this adventure so far. We’ve had a knockout year, and the best is still ahead! 🚀 Monahans, R T Marke & Co Ltd, RMT Accountants & Business Advisors Ltd, RMT Technology, EQ Accountants, Cowgills, Sumer Northern Ireland, Jerroms Group, HW Fisher, Simmons Gainsford, Carpenter Box, Scrutton Bland, DPC Chartered Accountants, Sumer Law

    Senior Tax Manager at Cowgills

    Being in London for an “Introduction to US International Corporate Taxation” course has been a great experience 🇺🇸 It’s been an intense three days of listening and learning - a throwback to my days studying for the ATT and CTA exams. Now to begin studying all of the US taxation textbooks I’ve ordered…! P.s. should be back home in time for the end of “Lancashire Day” too 🌹

  • 🌟 Supporting growth in North West: New data from Sumer’s United Growth survey highlights the barriers facing female entrepreneurs Earlier this year, in collaboration with Sumer and The Entrepreneurs Network, over 600 entrepreneurs were surveyed to explore the state of UK business. Recently, Sumer took a deeper dive into the data and spotlighted an important issue - the confidence gap facing female business owners. While female entrepreneurship is on the rise, only 29% of women report feeling confident in running a business today - significantly lower than the 48% of men who feel the same. Key obstacles like access to finance, rising costs, and a lack of visibility continue to disproportionately impact women entrepreneurs, affecting their growth and long-term success. These findings highlight the need for ongoing conversation and action in addressing the barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potential in business. At Cowgills, we are committed to supporting entrepreneurs of all backgrounds and helping create a more inclusive and thriving business environment. Take a look at the wider report, which highlights key challenges and opportunities for UK businesses. https://lnkd.in/dbrXGrsJ
