“Leeds city region is a low risk high reward proposition... It’s got a quality, a competitiveness, an edge that other parts of the country don’t have... We have some of the best people in financial services in the world working in Yorkshire. We have some of the top companies in the world. ”

Accountancy

Leeds-city-square.bmp

There are over 200 accountancy firms operating in Leeds including the world's "Big 4", PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, KPMG and Ernst & Young.

In addition to the major firms which provide a broad range of services from audit to corporate finance, there are many long established smaller practices which service private clients and the large number of small to medium size businesses in the region. This gives Leeds a unique position of applying local knowledge to enable business to grow on a global scale.

The proximity of Leeds to other northern cities allows it to act as a hub for accountancy firms whose networks expand well beyond the city itself.
