The Awards recognise entire accounting firms rather than individuals.
Can an accounting firm be nominated if it won in a previous year?
Yes.
Can I nominate my own accounting firm?
Yes, you can nominate your own firm or a peer’s firm. The only requirement is that the accounting firm is a Karbon customer.
Can I nominate the same firm in multiple categories?
Yes.
How many nominations can I submit?
You may submit nominations for as many accounting firms as you wish. A separate nomination form must be completed for each firm.
Within a single nomination form, you may nominate that firm for multiple award categories.
Why should I nominate for the Karbon Excellence Awards?
Recognition builds morale, credibility, and visibility. Even being nominated is a badge of excellence.
Whether or not your firm or your nominated firm is crowned a winner, the nomination process is an excellent opportunity to reflect on your team’s achievements and bring them to light.
Clients and staff of nominated firms will feel validated that they are with a recognised firm that is making a positive contribution to the wider profession and community.
Plus, award-winning status is a great talking point when you’re trying to win new business, and it can help you build brand awareness.
What do winners receive?
