This post unveils the prestigious Bentley Forbes Consulting county financial rankings for "2020"  based on accounts for periods ended between 30 September 2020 and 31 January 2021.  The 2019 rankings are  here  and if you are really interested you can get back to 2017.   There are only 16 counties below, with Hampshire and Middlesex excluded from the table.  Hampshire because they are a part of Rod Bransgrove's business interests and Middlesex, because they can't do anything right - including filing accounts within statutory time limits. The approach is to rank each county by two measures, one the average profit (or loss) made over the last 3 years and the second a measure of balance sheet strength.  Then I've used those two measures to get an overall financial stability ranking.  Hang onto your hats and lock your pets in the back room, because here come the Bentley Forbes Consulting rankings for 2020.
