After a record-breaking 2024 event, over 11,500 professionals from around the globe are expected to be in attendance.
“Every year Accountex proves itself as THE one-stop-shop for the accounting and finance community. And this edition is no exception! Attendees will leave with fresh ideas that they can immediately put into practice and boost their careers.
As always, the education programme is packed with exclusive industry updates, and the exhibitor list is full of both established brands and up-and-coming start-ups. By this point, visitors know to expect a few surprises, and we can’t wait to see the reactions!” said Accountex Portfolio Director, Caroline Hobden.
‘Accountex has everything you need for your business to succeed!’
The event provides an opportunity for attendees to reconnect with suppliers, discover new products, and explore solutions designed to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
The exhibitor lineup includes 300 fintech companies, with industry leaders such as FreeAgent, Intuit QuickBooks, IRIS, Sage, TaxCalc, Wolters Kluwer, and Xero, alongside emerging brands and first-time exhibitors including AY Business Law, Briefcase, Business Fitness, Accounting Flow, AuditBot, and Adsum.
“Without Accountex, I would never have come across a lot of the companies I am now working with, growth would have been slower and my systems would not have been as good. You just do not know what you’re missing out on until you have experienced it yourself,” commented visitor Mark Freed, Accountant, Freed Accountancy.
‘It’s a must-attend to stay up-to-date with the fast-paced industry’
The CPD-accredited seminar programme will feature over 250 sessions across 13 theatres. A broad range of topics will be covered, including practice growth strategies, developments in AI, ESG, AML, and Making Tax Digital updates from HMRC.
“Accountex was a brilliant and insightful day out. As a small practice owner, I had so many ideas and lightbulb moments while listening to industry professionals. Absolutely will be returning next year!” said visitor Travus Wynne, Director, Happy Days MK Ltd.
‘It’s the Glastonbury for Accountants!’
Beyond the sessions and exhibitors, the event will offer countless networking opportunities so attendees can connect with peers and industry leaders. Popular features such as the Bookkeepers Basecamp, Sustainability Zone, Content Creation Clinic, and after-show parties will be returning.
Accountex’s Ask the Accountants Podcast Pitstop will also be back, with hosts Johann Goree and Aaron Patrick interviewing experts and sharing insights from the show.
Sustainability remains a focus, with the ‘Trees for Attendees’ initiative continuing in partnership with Carma. For every visitor at Accountex London 2025, a tree will be planted—building on the 27,000 trees already planted since May 2023.
Additionally, Watch This Sp_ce returns as the official Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion partner, providing a Quiet Room for attendees looking for a space to unwind during the event.
Accountex is also welcoming Charterpath as its official charity partner. Charterpath’s mission is to inspire finance professionals to volunteer their time and skills with non-profits.
Co-founded by Alice Clementi and Alex Marsh, both chartered accountants who have volunteered throughout their careers, Charterpath has built a diverse community of over 2,500 finance professionals, contributing over 20,000 pro bono hours to charities, schools, and community groups.
‘Accountex London is our practices’ highlight of the year’
“My first time at Accountex this year and it was such a buzz – who knew that Accounting and Finance could be so much fun! The sessions were great and included some professional, inspirational speakers that I would have paid good money to see, but Accountex is free!” said visitor Sarah Wheatley, Accounts Manager, ACE Scaffolding Contractors Ltd.
Accountex London 2025 will take place at Excel on 14-15 May.
