Lara has been shortlisted as a finalist to win an award in the Office Administrator of the Year category at the 2017 Australian Accounting Awards, hosted by Accountants Daily, Australia’s top publication for the accounting industry.

Founded in 2014, Munro & Partners offers a range of business services to the Gold Coast community and specialises in Accounting, Finance, Financial Planning & high end strategic business advice.

Now in its fourth consecutive year, the Australian Accounting Awards, which covers 26 categories, recognises individual excellence in accounting, from the profession’s most senior ranks to its rising stars.

Winners in the individual categories will automatically be shortlisted for the coveted Accountants Daily Excellence Award. In addition, Lara will be in the running for the Editor’s Choice Award, which recognises an individual’s outstanding contribution to the Accounting Industry.

“We broadened the awards program this year to better recognise the breadth and depth of the talent in this industry. For those who have made it to the finalist stage, congratulations, you have secured your place amongst Australia’s leading accounting professionals,” said Terry Braithwaite, head of partnerships at Accountants Daily.

“We are set for a superb evening when the awards are presented. The judges have a tough job on their hands this year and there no doubt will be huge excitement to hear their verdicts.”

Lara said she is yet to find out who she was nominated by. Although regardless of who this may be, she was humbled by the nomination.

“Munro & Partners’ recognition for its excellent contribution to the Gold Coast community reinforces the strength of the brand in connecting with the community and engaging with its customers,” she added.

The winners will be announced at a black tie awards dinner on Friday, 26 May at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth.
