Notifications have started going out to nominees regarding the 2nd Phase of the process for Insightful Accountant's 2021 Top 100 / ProAdvisor of the Year Awards. There are several different types of notices we send out to nominees, and not all notices are sent at the exact same time.
- First, we send notices to nominees seeking more information, clarification or verification of credentials or other minimum criteria. For example, if we can't verify a U.S. nominee's status as a currently certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor because they do not appear within the profiles of the 'Find a ProAdvisor' website, a nominee will receive a notification requesting documentation of their current status. If you receive one of these notices it is 'critical' that you respond with the requested information, you will not be permitted to continue on in the process until you have provided the requested information/documentation.
- Second, U.S. nominees who have been "initially cleared" as meeting the minimum criteria, based upon nomination information and our ability to verify that information against their profile on the 'Find a ProAdvisor' website, will receive a notification advising them that they can proceed to the required 'formal application'. Instructions for accessing and completing the formal application, including the option of selecting the 'short-form' (only for candidates from the United States or Canada who participated in 2020) or the 'long-form' for all (other) candidates.
- Third, International nominees who have been "conditionally cleared" based on their nomination information and our ability to verify information using official Intuit resources that can identify ProAdvisors in countries of origin. These "conditionally cleared" candidates will be advised they can proceed to the required 'formal application', with instructions on how to access and complete the 'long-form' which is required of all 'International' candidates (except Canadian candidates who completed a 2020 application form and who elect to complete the 'short form') as a result of the significant changes made this year to evaluate and give proper credit for 'International' participation on a global basis whether you are within the 'the Americas' or 'Non-Americas' geographically defined awards.
- Additional notifications may be issued as a follow-up to respondents in either the 'First' category (above), or other nominees not previously processed due to inadequate or erroneous information, or nomination information inconsistent with the minimum requirements of the awards program.
We rely upon the information provided us in the 'nomination forms' submitted, we do not have a crystal ball. If an email is wrong and it gets kicked back/out we don't have a way of tracking it down, and we have far too many candidates to do that anyway.
Please be patient, if you know that you were nominated and you are a qualified Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisor (certified when practicing in a country that offers certification) with an actual 'Client' Practice, and you have not received 'any' Email notification within 5-days of this published notice, then respond with a 'comment' to this article and I will get back to you.
