The accolade, presented during a red-carpet ceremony hosted by comedian Rob Beckett at London’s iconic Roundhouse, recognised the Sussex and South East firm’s innovative approach to tax services and its commitment to client support.
The Carpenter Box tax team is led by five partners and comprises 35 members of staff across six offices, of which 20 are chartered tax advisers.
In their citation, the award judges described the firm as ‘innovative…with a clearly defined strategy and goals...and a real focus on client care.’ They highlighted Carpenter Box’s successful StarBox initiative, which offers tax-driven support to YouTubers and content creators, as an example of ‘how the firm is responding to wider changes in society’.
“This award is testament to the teamwork that is at the heart of the service we provide to our clients,” said Stuart Noakes, Chairman and Head of Tax Services at Carpenter Box. “We focus unerringly on staff development and training to ensure that every single team member is not only recognised and valued but also equipped with the technical and personal skills they need to deliver high quality service and appropriate professional advice.
“Tax is central to the firm’s wider growth strategy, and this award helps to solidify our growing reputation as the premier tax team in the South East,” said Stuart.
