Chartered accountants (CAs) make a difference where it counts – for people, businesses, communities and economies in Australia, New Zealand and around the world. Acuity magazine is looking for chartered accountants working across business, practice, enterprise, big four, not-for-profit, startups, tech, you name it, who are applying the highest standards of ethics, integrity and accountability to what they do.

Inspire others by being seen

We want to feature these exceptional CAs in our Profession of the Future feature story in the December/January 2022–23 issue of Acuity.

Acuity wants to hear your story

Share your story with us about how you’ve made a difference during the past 12 months. Perhaps you’ve helped a struggling business find its way out of COVID lockdowns. Maybe you’ve worked on a new piece of technology that is making life easier for a select group of people. Perhaps you volunteer on the weekends providing help for a community in need. Or maybe you provide analysis to the company you work for, using data combined with soft skills? Are you involved in strategy that impacts other departments in your organisation and has helped HR or marketing? Whatever it is, we want to hear about it.

“It takes extraordinary capabilities and perspective to make a genuine difference and we want to hear about CAs being difference makers.”
