Joel Topham

Partner & Head of Legal Services
AAB

Joel Topham is a Partner and Head of Legal Services at AAB. Specialising in solicitors accounts, SRA Audits and partnership tax Joel’s role is varied. He helps clients by advising on business strategy, management accounting and taxation, and finding innovative ways to solve clients’ problems. He also advises clients on creating plans for growth, assists clients with generating funding and making a succession plan.

“The legal sector is always changing; it is constantly evolving. Clients in this space need dynamic and agile advice for changing regulations and business practices. We are constantly learning and trying to get ahead of the curve. I sit on the ICAEW Solicitors panel, which advises the accounting industry on best practice within the Legal Sector as well as providing thought leadership on various areas. We also consult with the SRA on shaping best practice around financial compliance and risk management. This means we are at the forefront of changes and can prepare our clients well in advance.”
