Just back from two excellent days at Accountex UK 2025, and as always, the value came not just from the headline topics but from the opportunity to step out of the day-to-day and reflect on where our profession is headed and what that means for how we support businesses.

Artificial intelligence (AI) dominated the recent AccountEx 2024 conference in London. From seminars to bustling exhibitor booths, AI was the talk of the event, attended by thousands of accounting and finance professionals. With so much on offer we’ve put together a list of some of our key takeaways from the event.

ExCeL London is officially buzzing! Yesterday marked the first day of Accountex 2024, and the energy is contagious. Neville, Alan and Vaidas are there navigating the largest accounting and finance expo in the world. There are 12 theatres of CPD-accredited seminars to choose from, plus exhibitor demos and stand theatres. 

Accountex returned to ExCeL London after three years and that was a “must” for the NKC team to attend. For those unfamiliar with it Accountex is Europe’s largest annual business event where the accountancy and financial profession come together to shape the future of this rapidly evolving industry.
