Kicking off the programme below is an introduction from Bev Flanagan, council member, director and trustee of the AAT, who chaired the independent judging panel.
“As a proud Yorkshire woman and accountant, these awards mean the absolute world to me. They are a celebration of not just excellence in accounting but the resilience, innovation, and community spirit that define our profession – and, of course, our wonderful region.
“[All our finalists] should feel an incredible sense of pride in everything they’ve accomplished to get here.”
