Nominations Are Now Open for Insightful Accountant's 2021 ProAdvisor of the Year, the Top 100 ProAdvisors, and the related ProAdvisor Categorical Awards. The Nomination Period remains Open through January 27, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Nominations will NOT be accepted after the close of the nomination period.
ProAdvisors may nominate themselves or another ProAdvisor during the nomination period. We want to emphasize that about 60% of all our nominations are 'self-nominations' each year, there is nothing wrong with an individual nominating themselves.
Nominations will be accepted for qualified QuickBooks ProAdvisors ‘worldwide’. This year we returned this year to recognizing two International Award Categories, the ‘Americas’ (excluding the US) and ‘Non-Americas’ (representing the rest of the globe beyond the US and 'the Americas'). If you are a ProAdvisor in Canada, Mexico, Central or South America, or the Caribbean islands, you can potentially be recognized for our ‘Americas’ award. If you live in any country outside 'the Americas', or the United States, then you can potentially be recognized for our 'Non-Americas' award covering the remaining portions of the Globe.
Nominees from the United States must hold one or more current Intuit ‘U.S.’ ProAdvisor certifications to be considered for these awards. 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.
Duplicate country certification is acceptable but cross-certification will be accepted only when a person’s application demonstrates that they predominately conduct business with clients in their non-resident country.
ProAdvisors must also have an active practice with one or more actual clients using QuickBooks (QuickBooks Online and/or QuickBooks Desktop). Individuals providing staff services that do not involve actual client interaction in rendering ProAdvisor services using QuickBooks (Online and/or Desktop) are NOT eligible for these awards.
When completing the ‘nomination form’ no personal or professional details other than those necessary to identify both the Nominee AND Nominator are required during the initial nomination process.

The number of nominations submitted for an individual has NO impact upon the outcome of the selection process, and it doesn’t matter if a nomination comes either from the nominee or if the nominee is provided by a nominator so long as ALL required information for nomination is correct.

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.
