Finance Excellence Awards

Finance Team of the Year Award

The in house team that keeps the business on track.

About this category

This award recognises an in house finance team whose reporting, planning and business partnering have made a real difference to its organisation. Judges look for impact, efficiency and how the team works with the business.

Eligibility

Open to in house finance teams in organisations of any size and sector.

Judging criteria

  • Impact on the business
  • Quality of reporting and planning
  • Efficiency
  • Business partnering
  • Team development

Qualitative criteria

  • A team the business turns to for insight
  • Not just numbers

Metrics

  • Close and reporting times
  • Forecast accuracy
  • Savings delivered and stakeholder feedback

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client or colleague evidence. Client identities and commercially sensitive figures may be anonymised or given as percentages and ranges, and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Firms carrying on regulated activities should hold the relevant FCA authorisation. Judges consider the size of the firm or team, so smaller firms compete on equal terms.
