Finance Leader of the Year
As a finance leader, whether that be a CFO, Head of Finance, Finance Manager, Financial Controller or Accountant... you never quite get recognised the way you deserve.
You build the stack. You close the month. You make the call that saves the business $100k and nobody outside your team ever knows.
This award is for you 🥇
Finance Leader of the Year is the premier award for in-house finance leaders scaling on Xero. One winner. 13,000+ peers watching. The judges are finance leaders themselves — they know what good looks like, and they'll recognise it when they see it.
If you've had a year worth talking about, we want to hear from you!
