The managing partner of an Aberdeen accountancy firm has completed a remarkable UK awards double.

Simon Cowie, who established Infinity Partnership in 2009, has been named 2022 Practice Pioneer of the Year at the Accounting Excellence Awards. He previously won the individual honour at the British Accountancy Awards – the other major industry event – in 2016. 

The Accounting Excellence Awards were held at Tobacco Dock in London.

Simon said:
“It’s a tremendous honour to be named Practice Pioneer of the Year. This award is not only recognition for myself but also the amazing team here at Infinity.

“We understood the requirement to support our clients when they have needed us during the pandemic and through this challenging period of rising costs for businesses.

“Between the use of technology and the demand for broader services, the accountancy world is changing and I’m delighted that our modern-day approach has been recognised.”
