The national awards program was designed to recognise and acknowledge the leading women influencing the Australian finance industry.
This is the benchmark for excellence around Australia, and year after year recognises the outstanding contribution made to the profession, propelling the industry forward.
This year, the Women In Finance awards will once again celebrate the best of the best over a range of categories, from entrepreneurs to
CEOs, from accounting and banking and finance, and much more.
EMPLOYER OF THE YEAR (SME)
This award recognises the business in the financial services industry that demonstrated the best balance of gender diversity and commitment to the progression of women within the company.
This category assesses initiatives within the business such as flexible working arrangements, childcare initiatives, equal pay, training and career development, taking into account the benefits to the individual as well as the tangible business benefits to the company as a whole.
"I'm thrilled to announce that Smart Business Solutions has been named a finalist in the Women In Finance awards, specifically in
the Employer of the Year SME category. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to fostering gender diversity and empowering
women within our organisation. We've worked diligently to create an inclusive environment that supports flexible working arrangements,
childcare initiatives, equal pay, and robust training and career development opportunities. Our dedication to these initiatives not only
