We’re delighted to announce that Crunch has been named a finalist in two categories at the Brighton and Hove Business Awards 2026: Employer of the Year and the Professional Services Award.

Being recognised in both categories is a fantastic achievement for the whole Crunch team. The nominations recognise two big parts of what we do, our people and the service we provide to businesses and individuals who rely on us.

A finalist for Employer of the Year

Creating a workplace where people feel supported, trusted and able to do their best work has always been important to us. That’s why being shortlisted for Employer of the Year means so much.

Chloe Richardson, People Development Manager at Crunch, said:

“So pleased to see Crunch named a finalist for Employer of the Year! Creating a place where people feel supported, trusted and able to do their best work is something we care deeply about, so this recognition means a lot to the whole team.”

A big part of that comes down to creating an environment where people can develop their skills, feel valued, and have the support they need to do their best work.

Recognised for our professional services

We’re also thrilled to be a finalist for the Professional Services Award. At Crunch, we combine accounting expertise with technology to make managing finances and tax simpler for the self-employed.

Our aim has always been to make certified accounting support more accessible and straightforward, while giving customers the tools and expertise they need to make better decisions about their businesses.

Being recognised in the Professional Services category is a great nod to the people behind that service. That includes our accountants and customer teams, as well as the people building and supporting the technology our customers use every day, 

Two nominations, one team

While the two categories recognise different areas of the business, they both come down to the people at Crunch.

From our accountants and customer teams to our developers, marketers, operations and support functions, it takes the whole Crunch team to deliver the experience we want our customers and colleagues to have.

We’re incredibly proud to see that work recognised by the Brighton and Hove Business Awards, and it’s great for Crunch to be recognised with so many other businesses in the local business community.

The winners will be announced at the Brighton and Hove Business Awards 2026 later this year, and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for both categories.
