2022 shortlist

Yorkshire is home to a fine accountancy profession. These awards were developed to celebrate this incredible community, and the achievements and successes of the region’s best and brightest.

 

We had a fantastic response and dozens of submissions for our independent judging panel to review. The debates were fierce and the results close, but these entries shone through and we’re pleased to be able to recognise them as 2022 finalists.
