Our Commercial Audit team in the Birmingham region works with clients which operate across a wide variety of sectors including manufacturing, distribution, retail and technology. Our main focus is on the mid-market working with private equity backed and privately owned businesses. In addition, one of the firm's centres of excellence is based in Birmingham through which a team focus on Public Interest Entity audits including listed entities and large private groups. This means Birmingham is uniquely placed to offer both mid-market and listed entity audits.

Our framework for how we work underpins our approach, giving us all the confidence to make decisions that work for us, and our teams.
