Heather Bygrave, UK Chief Financial Officer
How would you describe Deloitte’s performance in FY26?
We started FY26 having taken decisive action to strengthen our business, with a clear focus on improving productivity, increasing efficiency and making disciplined investment decisions that would position us for sustainable long-term growth.
This approach delivered strong results. For the financial year ending 31 May 2026, overall revenue grew by 2% to £5.81bn. This compares to a 1% decrease in revenue the previous year and demonstrates that sustainable growth can be achieved through operational discipline and a continued focus on delivering value for our clients.
How did performance compare across Deloitte’s UK businesses?
All our UK businesses delivered revenue growth in FY26. In Audit & Assurance, revenue grew by 3%, showing continued benefit from our investment in audit quality and digital audit capabilities such as Deloitte Omnia.
Tax & Legal continued to build on several years of successive growth. Increased revenue of 2% reflects continued demand for specialist advice as clients adapt to an evolving business and regulatory environment.
Across Strategy, Risk & Transactions Advisory, our teams supported clients navigating an increasingly complex business, regulatory and transaction environment, while delivering revenue growth of 1%.
Technology & Transformation had a particularly strong year. Building on changes introduced over recent years to shift focus towards technology implementation and large-scale transformation programmes, the business continued to focus on high value opportunities, delivering revenue growth of 4%.
Our Swiss business remained broadly flat, demonstrating the strength and diversity of our multidisciplinary businesses despite ongoing market challenges.
How is Deloitte continuing to invest in its people?
Our success is built on the dedication, expertise and commitment of our people.
We invested £305m in reward, recognising the hard work and dedication of our people, and the strong performance of the firm. We increased our bonus pool by 14% across the business, and average salaries in-grade rose by an average of over 4%. Alongside this, we promoted over 6,000 colleagues and hired 3,500 new people, including more than 1,950 graduates, apprentices and interns.
We also continue to invest in technology – including GenAI - with a £180m investment in FY26. And we’ve put a wide range of AI resources and learning programmes into the hands of colleagues to support their development.
What is your outlook for FY27?
We enter FY27 from a position of financial strength. While we recognise that market conditions remain uncertain, we are confident in the resilience of our business and the opportunities ahead.
We remain committed to investing in the capabilities, technology and talent that will support our clients and help us to build a next-generation firm. Above all, we are grateful to our people for their contribution and look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.

Net-zero goals
Deloitte is committed to becoming net-zero globally, including at UK level. We’ve set science-based targets to 2040 which are registered with the SBTI.
Our science-based target for scopes 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a 70% reduction by FY30. Through investments in energy efficiency in our buildings and purchasing only renewable electricity we continue to be ahead of schedule in meeting this target.
We are currently meeting our target
We have nearly reached our target to operate only electric/plug-in hybrid vehicles in our fleet, well ahead of schedule, having removed all combustion engine options from our car leasing scheme in FY22.
We are working towards meeting our target
We procure 100% renewable electricity, either through renewable tariffs, or by matching consumption on non-renewable tariffs with renewable energy certificates.
We are currently meeting our target
Business travel continued to decrease in FY26 as a result of the focus on sustainable delivery and a reduction in air travel emission factors. Continuing to tackle emissions from business travel remains a priority for FY27.

Community
We are committed to making an impact that matters for our people, clients, and society. By bringing together our skills, capabilities and networks, we help create more inclusive and sustainable futures. Our social impact contribution represents the financial value of our social impact activities, including fundraising, donations, pro bono, volunteering hours and programme management.
Our people supported charities, schools and communities across the UK through volunteering, skills-based projects and awareness-raising activities, helping create positive impact where it is needed most.
Offering professional expertise to charities is at the heart of our social impact programme. Our professionals work alongside our society partners like we do our clients, delivering high impact projects to address complex challenges and strengthen resilience.
What began as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic has become a core part of our social impact programme. To date, we have donated almost 24,000 laptops, helping more people access the technology they need to learn, work and thrive.
