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

Significant events

- “On 5 September 2025, Bishop Fleming LLP underwent a reorganisation, which included transferring its audit business into a new entity controlled by the audit partners of Bishop Fleming, to continue to comply with the Audit Regulations. Additionally, Bishop Fleming LLP was acquired by Bishop Fleming Holding Company Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, to facilitate a minority investment to support the firm's future growth. The ultimate controlling party being Hood Topco Limited, a company registered in Jersey.”
