The business environment
The City of London, the historic Square Mile, is the beating heart of the UK's financial and professional services sector, home to the Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange and a dense concentration of banks, insurers and professional practices. This gives local accountancy firms direct proximity to major corporate clients, financial institutions and a highly competitive professional peer group.

The local economy
The City's economy is built on banking, insurance, legal and professional services, creating sustained demand for accounting, tax and audit expertise from corporates, financial institutions and the professionals who work among them.
