Cheers Jed and Hamilton.

I found the NW corner the most difficult part. At about half way through I noticed that I had already needed 22 different letters. The very next answer I got was 17dn which gave the M, but there was no sign of J, Q, or W. No reason why there should be, of course.

2dn: I read this as ACCA for accountant, taking the “at” as a linking word.

15dn: I think this has to be BIZ for “small business”, so it parses as “NO plus {(EL PR) in BIZ} plus E.

16dn: “Especially” as an anagram lead does not work for me. Mind you, I really liked some of the other ones used in this crossword.

27dn: To me, this was by far the best of the double definition clues. Two completely different meanings with the same spelling.
