Wood and Disney's founder, Peter Disney, named Global Top 10 Business Advisor

Peter Disney, chartered accountant and managing director of Wood and Disney, has been announced as Top 10 Advisor of the Year in the Helm’s annual global ranking of independent accountancy and business advisors.



This award from financial software company, Helm, celebrates the hard work of advisors around the world, including those that are reshaping what it means to be an advisor and helping their clients to grow, succeed, and thrive. The judging panel, which included senior representatives from Sage, Xero and Intuit QuickBooks, considered all nominations based on their client experiences, successful outcomes and how they are innovating client service and delivery.



Confirms Peter Disney, “To receive the news that we are one of Helm’s global top 10 advisors in their latest awards is quite a shock! The judging panel included representatives from the world's biggest cloud accounting software companies and so to be recognised by such big names in the accountancy world is a huge achievement.

“While general accountancy and tax services are a major part of what we do, a significant aspect is the support and guidance we provide to ambitious entrepreneurs. We do not focus on a specific industry rather a specific attitude of the owners; those who are motivated by building a better future for family, team and community, and who wish to last at least 20 years - representing less than 10% of firms registered at Companies House. To be recognised not just mine, but the whole team’s approach to supporting business owners succeed is an amazing boost for 2023!”



Discussing Peter’s nomination, Kelvin Gieck, Helm Co-Founder said: “It’s been inspiring to read so many applications and hear some of the amazing things advisors are doing to support their clients. Having personally reviewed Peter’s nomination, his success is centred around business-focussed goals, rather than "filing on time". This resonated with me as I know how important this is to business owners, but often ignored by professionals. Peter also shows an amazing balance of utilising tools and tech yet realizing that they are just tools at the end of the day and that clients value a trustworthy advisor with human, face to face advice.”
