Entries are now open for the Irish Accountancy Awards 2027, giving Ireland’s accounting professionals the chance to put their achievements forward on a national stage. The programme celebrates the most innovative individuals and organisations driving excellence across the accountancy sector, and it has become a fixture in the calendar for firms and individuals who want their work recognised by their peers.

The timeline is clear. Entries opened on 6 November 2026 and close on 29 January 2027. Finalists will be announced on 18 March 2027, and the awards gala will take place on 20 May 2027 at the Royal Dublin Convention Centre. For firms and professionals planning their submissions, those dates offer a defined runway to select their strongest work, gather supporting evidence and present each entry with clarity.

The awards recognise the calibre of Ireland’s accountancy profession. Entries are sought from firms and individuals who have delivered the highest quality of service and can demonstrate significant value and competitive advantage for their clients. Judging is carried out by an expert panel, and the programme gives entrants the opportunity to have their work reviewed, benchmarked against peers and recognised by industry leaders. Categories span practice management, individual leadership, functional excellence, technology, client service and talent development, so there is a place for both large firms and smaller practices.

The gala on 20 May 2027 will bring the sector together once again, with hundreds of senior executives gathering to celebrate achievement and network with the industry’s most influential players and top talent. Entering is also a strategic decision.

Recognition from an established programme strengthens a firm’s profile with clients, partners and peers, and the process of preparing an entry often sharpens how a team articulates its approach, results and impact. Winners and finalists gain visibility across the sector, and the shared moment of recognition gives teams and clients something to celebrate together.
