Run with the support of principal partner Mortgage Choice (part of REA Group), the awards recognise the outstanding contributions of the best and brightest women who are going above and beyond for their clients while propelling the finance industry forward.
They were open to CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives, innovators, mentors, thought leaders, as well as young leaders who are leading the profession into the future.
Over 680 members of the finance industry were in attendance to cheer on 249 finalists competing for 24 individual and five company submission-based categories.
All eyes were on who would receive the prestigious Women in Finance Excellence Award (given to the highest-scoring winner from the individual award categories).
Law firm King & Wood Mallesons’ senior associate Paula Nassif won the 2022 Excellence Award after picking up the Banking and Finance Lawyer of the Year award earlier in the day.
Accounting categories included Accountant of the Year, Accountant Consultant of the Year, Auditor of the Year, and Bookkeeper of the Year, while others in the profession were crowned as innovators and thought leaders of the year.
Women in other areas of finance were also recognised for their successes and hard work, including mortgage and finance broking, financial advice, fintech, and self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) advice.
Stand-up comedian, author, radio host and television presenter Cal Wilson provided the entertainment while attendees let their hair down, networked with the industry, and celebrated the successes of their peers.
The keynote speech was delivered by Bianca Hartge-Hazelman, co-founder, editor and CEO at female finance publication Financy.
Commenting on the winners, Accountants Daily’s sister brands ifa and InvestorDaily editor Maja Garaca Djurdjevic said: “I would like to congratulate all the winners and thank everyone that joined us at this year’s Women in Finance Awards.
