Upcoming Event
Women in Finance Awards 2026

Date: Friday, 13 November 2026
Venue: Hyatt Regency, Sydney

Australia’s financial services and banking industry is evolving faster than ever before.

Artificial intelligence is transforming customer experiences. Digital innovation is reshaping products and services. Regulatory expectations continue to evolve, while organisations are navigating increasing complexity, heightened competition and changing customer needs.

Behind every major shift are exceptional women leading from the front. They’re setting strategy, driving transformation, leading high-performing teams, strengthening governance, delivering commercial growth and creating better outcomes for customers, businesses and communities.

The Women in Finance Awards celebrate these leaders.

Recognising excellence across financial services and banking, the awards honour the women making an outstanding contribution across banking, lending, wealth management, fintech, customer experience, technology, operations, risk, compliance, product innovation and executive leadership.

More than an awards program, the Women in Finance Awards are an opportunity to recognise the leadership, expertise and impact shaping the future of Australia’s financial services and banking industry.

Whether you’re an emerging leader, experienced executive or CEO, the awards celebrate the women raising the standard across the profession while inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Upcoming Event
Women in Finance Summit 2026

Event date: Friday, 13 November 2026
Venue: Hyatt Regency, Sydney

The Women in Finance Summit was founded in 2016 with a single conviction: that the financial services industry is stronger when its leadership reflects the diversity of the communities it serves.

A decade later, that conviction has only deepened. The Summit has grown from an intimate gathering of 80 women into Australia's pre-eminent leadership conference for women in banking, wealth management, superannuation, insurance, fintech, and regulatory bodies — attracting over 500 senior leaders annually.

We are not a networking event dressed up as a conference. We are a curated, rigorous, intellectually ambitious day of learning — built for women who are already leading and for those preparing to step into the most senior roles in the industry.

Upcoming Event
Corporate Accountant Awards 2026

Friday, 23 October 2026

Recognising the leaders shaping Australian finance from the inside

Celebrating Australia's top-performing in-house finance teams

Every organisation, from ASX-listed enterprises to ambitious private companies, depends on its finance function to provide insight, ensure rigour, and chart a path through uncertainty. The professionals who lead these teams rarely step into the spotlight. The Corporate Accountant Awards exist to change that.

Launched in 2025 by Accounting Times, the awards recognise the corporate accountants, financial controllers, CFOs, and finance teams whose work directly shapes the commercial success of Australian organisations.

At the 2025 inaugural gala, more than 300 senior finance leaders gathered at the Four Seasons Sydney for a black-tie evening that set a new standard for professional recognition in the sector. Winners were celebrated on national platforms. Finalists gained recognition from their boards, peers, and the wider business community.

In 2026, we return – with more categories, a bigger stage, and an even stronger mandate: to find and celebrate the corporate accounting profession's most exceptional contributors.

Registrations of interest for the 2026 program are now open. Submissions launch Thursday, 2 July.
