Nominations still open for Insightful Accountant's 2021 ProAdvisor of the Year, the Top 100 ProAdvisors, and the related ProAdvisor Categorical Awards including 'two' International Categories.
The Nomination Period remains Open through January 27, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Don't get left out simply because you think this Awards Program doesn't apply to you because you live and work outside the United States. For 2021 Insightful Accountant will recognize an International ProAdvisor from ‘the Americas’ (excluding the United States), and an International ProAdvisor from the remaining portions of the Globe (aka: ‘Non-Americas’). So, if you participant in the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program in Canada, Mexico, Central or South America, or the Caribbean islands, you qualify to be nominated for our International ‘Americas’ Award (from a geographic standpoint1). If you a participant in the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program and live anywhere outside 'the Americas' (and United States), then you qualify to be nominated for our International ‘Non-Americas’ Award covering the remaining portions of the Globe (from a geographic standpoint1) .
We have re-fined our mechanisms involved in these two international categorical awards, and this will be evident in our ‘formal application’ during the 2021 process but let's make the issue of ProAdvisor status and certification clear. International participants, regardless of the country in which they practice, must hold Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisor 'status*' for their country or a country within their ‘Intuit Global Region’, or hold a formal ProAdvisor Certification from one of the countries where Intuit issues formal ProAdvisor certification.
All ProAdvisors, regardless of their country of practice, must also have an active practice with one or more actual clients using QuickBooks (QuickBooks Online and/or QuickBooks Desktop).
Nominees meeting the certification and active practice minimum qualifications will be notified not later than February 5, 2021, with details regarding the formal application and selection process. Dates related to the formal application deadline, and other essential information will be provided as part of that notification, such notification may take the form of either an email and/or published Insightful Accountant article.
