Accountancy Age is an online trade publication for accountants and financial staff in the United Kingdom. After running from 1969 to 2011 with a circulation of over 60,000 in print,[2] it changed with effect from May 2011 to an online-only publication.

History

Accountancy Age was first published on 5 December 1969, by

The Nielsen Company. They then sold the business publications division to venture capital group 3i, which in February 2007 sold the UK company to Incisive Media.[5]

Incisive announced in April 2011 that the last print edition would be dated 21 April 2011.[6]

In 2015, Incisive sold Accountancy Age and Financial Director to Contentive.[7]

Awards

From 1995 to 2010 the magazine organised and hosted The Accountancy Age Awards for accountancy firms, individuals, teams, initiatives and software packages.[8][9] In 2011 these were succeeded by the British Accountancy Awards.[10]

The magazine has itself won various awards including a top 500 UK "Business Superbrand" in 2007[11] and the 2008 Award for "Editorial Team of the Year" from the Association of Online Publishers.[12] Liam Saunders' weekly cartoon "Colin"[13] won the Workworld Media Award for "Cartoonist of the Year" in 2003.[14]

The target audience is
