On 19th March 2026, senior leaders from across the UK’s Top 200 accounting firms will gather on the 24th floor of The Shard for QXcelerate London 2026, an invitation-only evening designed for partners, directors, and C-suite decision-makers shaping the next phase of their firms.
This is not a conference. It is a curated leadership forum.
At a time when firms are navigating consolidation, private equity interest, evolving operating models, and accelerating technology adoption, the quality of conversation matters. QXcelerate is designed to create that quality – peer-level, candid, and grounded in real operating decisions.
QXcelerate London is designed exclusively for Top 100 and Top 200 accounting firms. Here’s who we are getting into the room:
Some of our confirmed attendees include AMS Group, Oury Clark, S&W Group, Azets, BKL, Jefferies, PKF, Bradbury Stell, Burges Hudson, Sumer Group, and more.
If you are involved in shaping your firm’s growth strategy, operating model, capital decisions, or long-term positioning, this room is for you.
Attendance is limited to senior decision-makers to ensure discussions remain strategic, relevant, and high-value.
QXcelerate London 2026 will centre around two focused panel discussions addressing the structural shifts reshaping UK firms:
How do firms scale sustainably without exhausting partners or compromising delivery quality?
As firms grow through M&A, expand geographically, and face mounting client expectations, traditional delivery models are under strain. This session explores the move toward institutionalised operating engines integrating talent, automation, Outsourcing 3.0, and strategic Global Capability Centres (GCCs).
What does the wave of private equity and consolidation truly mean for firm leadership?
Beyond valuations and deal headlines, capital changes governance structures, decision-making cadence, partner expectations, and long-term identity. This panel examines how leadership teams are navigating growth, alignment, and cultural continuity in a capital-driven market.
Together, these discussions aim to move beyond theory and into practical insight on what is working, what is not, and what firm leaders need to be thinking about now.
Speaker Line-Up
This is not about broad inspiration. It is about strategic clarity.
The accounting events landscape is crowded.
QXcelerate is intentionally not.
There are no product demonstrations, sales presentations, or oversized audience. Instead, the evening brings together a select group of senior decision-makers for structured discussion and high-value networking.
The format encourages openness. The room size ensures quality. And the venue, The Shard, reflects the ambition of the conversation.
The profession is entering a period where operating model design, capital strategy, and leadership clarity will define competitive advantage.
QXcelerate London 2026 is for those who want to engage with these issues directly, alongside peers facing similar decisions.
For firm leaders asking, “How do we scale intelligently while protecting what makes us strong?”, this is a conversation worth being part of.
