The Yorkshire Accountancy Awards 2023 ceremony was a fantastic night
What a week for the Yorkshire Accountancy Awards 2023 winners!
Last week’s ceremony saw 10 organisations and seven practitioners prevail across 19 categories, ranging from Independent Firm of the Year to the prestigious Yorkshire Accountant of the Year.
The ceremony was a fantastic evening of socialising and networking—with hundreds of guests in attendance, all celebrating the Yorkshire accountancy profession and its many achievements.
The support of 13 premier sponsors helped make the night possible, from taking to the stage to announce the winners to providing the excellent backdrop that was the media wall for all of the evening’s photos.
Here are the highlights from Yorkshire Accountancy Awards 2023 ceremony.
