Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During the year, the firm had an average of 164 people working within it. This is lower than the previous reporting period, but revenue and case numbers have grown. The firm's improved productivity is down to investment in our operational framework, technology, and the training and development of our team across the business.”
• “The firm's key practice areas all performed well during the reporting period despite challenging market conditions.”
• “The key objective of the business moving forward is to deliver the vision whilst achieving increased profitability and will involve significant investment across all parts of the business.”
