Peter Ellington of Norwich-based Triple Bottom Line Accounting has been named “Most Inspiring Accountant 2024” in a national business award.
Peter and his team had already won the “Consistently High Standards” and “High Profile Practice” categories before beating five other finalists to win the overall 2024 AVN Award.
This was due to our focus on supporting businesses in becoming more sustainable while remaining financially secure, and helping clients develop a Net Zero strategy.
Triple Bottom Line Accounting is no stranger to awards, having won Small Firm of the Year (Midlands, Wales and the East of England) in the 2023 Accounting Excellence Awards. We also won the Changing Lives award in last year’s AVN Awards.
Commenting on his win, Peter said:
“It’s a real honour to receive these awards. They are very much the result of a tremendous team effort. We aspire to be the change we want to see in creating a “business for good”. This means that we each bring a diverse but equally valuable range of skills and experiences to promote the culture and values of Triple Bottom Line Accounting. We believe that profit is not the purpose of business but the outcome of a well-run business living out a purpose that benefits society and the environment.”
The Most Inspiring Accountant Award is organised by the training and coaching organisation AVN.
The award recognises the achievements of accountants in practice over seven different categories, with category winners going forward to compete for the overall title.
Shane Lukas, Managing Director of AVN, added:
“Peter and his team are shining examples of how accountants can be a huge force for good in the world. I can’t wait to see what they do next.”
