The annual Women in Accounting Awards celebrates and acknowledges inspiring women across the accounting and bookkeeping industry.
Since 2018, these prestigious awards have shone a light on remarkable women who inspire others with their resilience, leadership, mentorship, and active participation in creating a more diverse and inclusive industry. Each year, hundreds of women are nominated by their colleagues and peers to be recognized as a Top 50 Women in Accounting.
In 2024, our focus is on women who serve as catalysts of change within the accounting and bookkeeping industry. These women are advocating for innovation, diversity, and inclusivity. These awards celebrate women who not only excel in their craft but also inspire others through their resilience, leadership, and mentorship, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive sector.
To drive meaningful and transformative change around this theme we’re partnering with our judging panel of industry experts and Top 50 alumni. Join us, as we share the stories of incredible women accountants and bookkeepers, and hold space for important discussions about gender, leadership, and confidence.
Most importantly, we invite you to nominate a leader or emerging leader from your current company, a former colleague, yourself or a peer as one of the Top 50 Women in Accounting for 2024.
Ignition proudly presents the The Women in Accounting Awards. At Ignition, we recognise the importance of initiatives and programs that influence diversity and help advance women into leadership roles, all of which accelerate the pace of change in the accounting industry.
