TrustList ranking
Q4 2026 edition
135 of 402 accounting firms ranked on evidence held on 6 October 2026: client reviews, vetting, awards and facts each business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody pays to be placed.
Positions are fixed for the quarter; the next edition is due in January 2027.
The SME ranking on this page lists 396 small and medium-sized firms, and 77 of them earned a rank number. Five businesses known to be large are left out. The SME order does not reward age, so newer practices compete on evidence alone. See the SME ranking
