Please ensure your suggested angle for the by-line pertains to the business and practice of accounting in Australia. This can include (but is not limited to):
- How a recent legislative update will impact upon practitioners.
- Your personal journey and what other accountants can learn from it.
- A pertinent issue/challenge/trend/opportunity for accounting students, or accountants of a particular demographic.
- Reflections on the professional services marketplace and subsequent implications for accountants.
- Practical/instructive guidance for accountants on a pertinent subject.
Originality
Please do not submit content that has been published elsewhere by the author (or anyone else), be it on their own channels or a third party’s channels, as we require 100 per cent original copy and a unique angle for Accountants Daily. Please do not send us by-line angles or copies that have been pitched elsewhere unless you have confirmation it is not being published elsewhere (in part or in its entirety).
Perspective/POV
Please write by-lines from the point of view of your by-line author (in first person). Your author will have their name featured at the top of the published story, and one line will be included at the end with their name, job title, and company. Links to your employer webpage or LinkedIn profile are not included in the published version.
Word count
Pitched and submitted opinion pieces should be approximately 600 to 700 words, but they can range anywhere from 500 to 1,000 words in length.
Facts or figures
All facts and figures must be referenced for editorial integrity. Where references are not provided, and the information is not common knowledge or easy to find, those facts and figures will be removed from the published by-line.
Format
Please submit your by-line in a Word document. This better enables us to make any edits to the final copy (we will not come back prior to publication for approval on minor, stylistic amendments – only substantive changes).
Headshot
Please submit your by-line with a high-resolution headshot of yourself, or the author, which will be published alongside the story and kept on file for future use. Headshots in landscape format are ideal.
Promotional content not permitted
Please do not include any lines, or arguments, that are advertorial or commercial in nature. Pitched by-lines that are overly promotional for a particular product, service or provider will not be published.
Contributed pieces from product or service providers can be submitted as commercial content (and should follow the above parameters regarding originality, word count, etc.) and can be pitched to William Magee, director of Accountants Daily, at

Accountants Daily managing editor Jerome Doraisamy said: “Having on-the-ground commentary from the audience about what is happening day-to-day, and what fellow accountants need to know, will never not be relevant.
“Moreover, having your by-line produced is a fantastic way to build your professional brand as aa accountant, and develop broader, pertinent skills as part of your vocational journey.”
The Accountants Daily team looks forward to hearing from you!
