The Association for Accounting Administration presents several different awards to members for dedication and service to their firms and to the Association.
ACE Award
(formerly Firm Administrator of the Year Award)
This annual award is presented by the Association for Accounting Administration (AAA) and has been awarded to some of the country's most experienced and respected administrators since its inception in 1989.
Recipients receive a one-year complimentary AAA membership, free attendance at the next year’s AAA National Practice Management Conference, a handsome plaque and promotion for both the individual and the firm.
The ACE Award -- which stands for Achievement, Commitment and Excellence -- was formerly known as the Accounting Firm Administrator of the Year Award. Former winners of the award have held titles such as firm administrator, director of administration, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and chief executive officer.
Regardless of the title, nominees must be an AAA member and hold a senior-level administration position for a public accounting firm. Criteria for selection focus on leadership and the individual's strategic impact on the firm's profit and growth. Strong candidates for the ACE Award will have made major contributions to their firms by implementing and overseeing programs that:
- contribute to the firm's long-term growth;
- help the firm meet its strategic goals;
- improve firm profitability;
- help create an employee-friendly culture that encourages long-term staff retention; and
- emphasize the value of entrepreneurship, leadership, continuous learning, marketing and client service skills.
The 2011 ACE Award will be presented at AAA’s National Practice Management Conference, June 21-24, 2011 in Louisville, Kentucky.
