We had an incredible time at the 2023 accountantsdaily Australian Accounting Awards at the Star in Sydney on the 30th of June!
Highlights of the evening included our emcee, comedian Vince Sorrenti, who was hilarious and cheeky, keeping us well entertained throughout the evening as the acceptance speeches seemingly got longer and longer; the live band, which performed the perfect mix of upbeat covers and had almost everyone in the room tapping their feet; and a much-appreciated opportunity to meet a number of our accounting peers including our table mates Rachael Keuning and Jodie Lake from Walsh Accountants.
As mentioned previously, Up-To-Date’s Managing Director, Jody Nichols, was a finalist in the ‘Public Accountant of the Year’ category and whilst she would have been an incredibly deserving winner, it was ultimately Renee Cooper from Indepth Accounting who took home the prize (much to Jody’s relief, as it turns out, since she hadn’t prepared a speech!).
We left Sydney following the Australian Accounting Awards feeling incredibly inspired and as committed as ever to being deserving of a future nomination.
Our sincerest thanks to accountantsdaily and MomentumConnect for a memorable evening; we hope to represent Perth again at next year’s awards!
