Staff and Directors at Wilmslow-based accountancy firm, Ascendis, are celebrating after one of their leading experts has been named as one of the top 35 accountants under the age of 35.
Forward-thinking crypto specialist, Lorenzo Coletta, has been ranked in the 35 under 35 list put together by Accountancy Age – placing him alongside some of the best up-and-coming professionals in the UK.
The judges that put together this year’s list were impressed with how Lorenzo was leading on the development of several innovative services within the fast-growing Northwest firm, including its unique cryptoasset offering.
In a relatively short period, he has worked incredibly hard to grow this new specialism, which recently resulted in the sale of leading NFT platform, KnownOrigin, to eBay in a multi-million-pound deal.
Lorenzo has also helped to foster a better culture within the firm and has implemented new systems that enable the practice to be more efficient, with a vision to make Ascendis the ‘go-to’ firm for technology start-ups and crypto accounting in the region.
Speaking about his inclusion in the prestigious list, Lorenzo said: “It is a real honour to make the latest Accountancy Age 35 under 35 list and great recognition for our practice as a whole.
“We are taking big, bold steps when it comes to launching innovative new services and proudly investing in new technology to deliver better advice and insights to our clients.”
Ascendis’ Managing Director, Richard Fleming, said: “What a fantastic achievement. We are all really impressed with Lorenzo’s inclusion in the list and it is rightly deserved given the incredible work that he does and his commitment to the development of our practice.”
