Momentum Media and accounting brand Accountants Daily are urging all tax professionals to submit an entry or nominate a worthy colleague for this year’s Australian Accounting Awards by Thursday, 6 April 2023.

Run with the support of principal partner Intuit QuickBooks, the prestigious awards program is celebrating its 10th anniversary by recognising the achievements of the accounting industry’s leading firms and their expertise, and successful professionals driving the Australian accounting industry forward.

There are 36 individual and group categories on offer, including Accounting Consultant of the Year, Auditor of the Year, Chief Financial Officer of the Year, Firm of the Year, Business Advisory Firm of the Year, and Start-up Firm of the Year.

Thought leaders, innovators and boutique firms will also be recognised for their hard work and dedication to propelling the industry forward, as will firms with the best marketing programs and wellness initiatives.

One individual winner with the highest score will walk away with the coveted Excellence Award trophy.

Last year’s recipient of the Excellence Award was Mason Dunn, chief financial officer at Carbon Group, after he also won the Chief Financial Officer of the Year award.

Securing an award will set you apart from your peers and strengthen your position in the industry by elevating your personal brand, while also boosting your credibility in your local market.

The awards will be peer-reviewed by a panel of well-respected judges, including professionals and business leaders, academics, business executives, entrepreneurs and innovators.
