The Australian Accounting Awards is a national awards program recognising excellence across the entire accounting industry. AccountantsDaily, in conjunction with principal partner Reckon, has today confirmed that 103 finalists have been shortlisted across 21 categories.

“Congratulations to these leading professionals and practices,” AccountantsDaily publisher Alex Whitlock said.

“Since nominations opened in August we’ve received a record number of submissions and so it’s an outstanding achievement to make it through to this stage.

“The high calibre of this year’s finalists bears testament to the depth of talent in the Australian accounting industry. Picking the winners from such a strong field will be a tough job for our judging panel and I’m sure that there will be huge excitement when the awards are presented on the night." 

The winners will be announced at a five-star gala dinner to be held in Sydney on Friday 30 October at the Westin hotel. For more information, or to book your ticket, visit http://www.australianaccountingawards.com.au/
