The Caseware 30 Under 30 awards

The future of accounting isn't something that happens to the profession - it's something the profession builds. And right now, a new, global generation of leaders is doing exactly that.

Every day, emerging professionals across audit, accounting and assurance are embracing new technology, raising the bar on quality and integrity and leading with a confidence that belies their years. They're not waiting for change - they're driving it. The Caseware 30 Under 30 Awards exist to find them, celebrate them and give them the platform they deserve.

Up next: Europe, then the rest of the world.

The Caseware 30 Under 30 Awards is officially global! As promised, we are extending the program to recognise exceptional emerging talent across the worldwide accounting community. Because great work doesn't have borders, and neither should the recognition that comes with it.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for the professionals who go beyond the brief. The ones who bring fresh thinking to complex problems, who mentor those around them, who champion technology without losing sight of what great work really looks like. In short, the people who are quietly, and not so quietly, shaping what accounting looks like tomorrow.

Do you qualify?

The criteria is simple. If you work in audit or accounting, and are under 30, you're eligible - whether you're nominating a colleague who inspires you or putting yourself forward. Either way, we want to hear from you.
