Does Someone at Your Accounting Firm Deserve an Award?

If there is one thing the Rule of Thumb blog from MoneyThumb realizes, it is that most accountants are very dedicated and hardworking people. We mean, seriously, who else in their right mind actually looks forward to the tax season? Accountants do because it is your bread and butter.

However, it is not very often that accountants are publicly recognized for their diligence. Largely known as a quiet, introspective type of person, an accountant does their job and gets on with life without a lot of bells and whistles going off, lauding their accomplishments.

Today we would like to offer your accounting firm a way that we discovered where you can publicly recognize someone at your firm who has done an exemplary job. This person only needs one other thing besides outstanding performance to qualify: they must be under 40-years-old.

One of our peer sites, CPA Practice Advisor, is awarding 40 people in the accounting profession who are under 40 recognition for their exemplary work. There is no cost involved in nominating an accountant under 40 from your firm to receive this award. Here is the link to the nomination page with all of the rules. For your accounting firm's convenience, below the Rules of Thumb blog from MoneyThumb has listed the details and rules from the CPA Practice Advisor website. The deadline for nominations is July 15, 2018, so get busy choosing who you will nominate from your firm!

• Candidates should be working in the accounting field, or supporting the field (public, private, tax preparation, consulting, academia, government) and have not turned 40 as of August 31, 2018. (Please note that candidates who are employed by a vendor serving the accounting profession are also eligible for nomination and will be considered for our "20 Under 40" commendation).
• Candidates can nominate themselves, or can be nominated by their peers, their colleagues, and their fellow professionals in the accounting profession.
• Candidates should have achieved a recognizable level of success and record of achievement.
• Candidates should be people who are likely to remain in the profession and continue to build on their achievements.
• Candidates should have demonstrated accomplishments off the job as well as on the job, in such areas as community and civic involvement, mentoring, volunteering, board membership, and so on.
• Candidates should be energetic, ambitious, innovative, the types of people who stretch boundaries.
• Candidates should demonstrate superior, game-changing work performance by utilizing, embracing, and perhaps introducing new processes, technologies, solutions to existing procedures.
• Candidates should be the people who help others, the best and the brightest, the ones who are driven to making changes and who have the ability and expertise to see the changes to fruition.
• Candidates should be visible in the profession – speaking, training, writing, connecting, educating, participating in professional associations.
