Xero partners and customers nominated for top honours at the Women in Finance Awards
Our partners and customers are leading the way when it comes to serving the financial services sector, with over 90 nominations for the Women In Finance Awards 2020.
Heading into its fourth year, the Women in Finance Awards is a prestigious event aimed at spotlighting the innovation and strength that female leadership brings to Australia. The awards give female talent the acknowledgement it deserves by providing a platform for women to gain industry-wide recognition.
We continue to be amazed and inspired by our partners, particularly how they’ve stepped up in these incredibly challenging times, and continued to be influencers and trailblazers in their industry.
From big business to small sole practices, the contributions of these amazing women are seen as exceptional. We send our biggest congratulations to all of the nominees! We’re proud to stand (virtually) alongside you and wish you every success for the upcoming ceremony.
