Ignition’s 2023 Women in Accounting awards are inviting nominations to recognise the top 50 at the fore-front of change in accounting and bookkeeping.
Now in its sixth year, the awards are open to all women in the accounting industry across the globe, including public accounting, private industry, government, bookkeeping and technology.
“The Women in Accounting awards recognise exceptional women who are at the forefront of driving industry change and innovation, and opening doors for the next generation of female accountants and bookkeepers,” Ignition co-founder and CEO Guy Pearson said.
“I had the privilege of being mentored by several inspirational women early in my accounting career who inspired me to go on to build and scale my own successful accounting firm.
“The Women in Accounting awards started as a way to pay it forward by recognising the amazing contributions of women in the industry and their impact on the community and future leaders.”
Ignition, which developed a client engagement and commerce platform for professional services a decade ago, launched the Women in Accounting awards in 2018. The awards have since attracted over 1,500 nominations from around the world, recognising 250 women from countries including Australia, Canada, NZ, South Africa, the US and UK.

In 2023, the Women in Accounting awards will focus on sparking lasting confidence in women leaders and fostering a sense of community.
“A lack of confidence can inhibit some women in the industry from reaching their full potential,” said Mr Pearson, one of the 12 judges this year.
“We hope that by recognising their achievements, we can ignite real change in confidence and help more women back their own abilities and skills and seek out stretch opportunities.”
Charlene Rhinehart, founder of Wealthy Women Daily and another judge this year, said, “I’m excited to serve as a judge for this year’s Top 50 Women in Accounting to put a face to stories that aren’t always broadcast in mainstream media.
“Women all over the world can read the stories of the Top 50 Women in Accounting, see themselves in between the words, and get a glimpse of what’s possible for them.”
Nominations are open until 5 April and the winners will be announced on 2 May.
