Finance Team of the Year

The CFO Techstack Awards — 2026

The CFO Techstack community has grown to more than 13,000 finance leaders, teams, and advisers. All scaling on Xero, all pushing the boundaries of what a modern finance function looks like.

It's time we recognised the best of us!

The 2026 CFO Techstack Awards celebrate the individuals, teams, transformation projects, and apps that are proving every day that the future of SME finance isn't ERP. It's Xero, with a best-in-class tech stack around it

Award submissions are open from June 23rd to 31st of July. Winners will be announced in August.

Finance Team of the Year

Finance teams don't get enough credit. The credit goes to the system, the software, or sometimes the CFO. Rarely the people who actually did the work.

You designed the stack. You built the processes. You dragged month-end from two weeks to three days and trained everyone along the way — all while the business kept growing underneath you.

This one's for the whole team 🥇

Finance Team of the Year recognises the in-house finance team that's raised the bar — on efficiency, on systems, on what a modern finance function actually looks like. One winner. 13,000+ peers watching.

If your team has had a year worth talking about, we want to hear from you!

Q: Can I nominate someone else?
