2026 Top Advisor Awards Nomination Period Extended

That's right, you still have the opportunity to "be nominated" or to "nominate" a deserving ProAdvisor because the Insightful Accountant 2026 Top Advisor Awards ‘Nomination Period’ is being extended.

The original Deadline for Nominations was set for tonight; however, the Deadline has now been extended to Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time.

While the total number of ‘nominations’ is down this year, which is somewhat anticipated since more Advisors are going straight to the Application process, we have noticed a sudden increase in nominations since Thanksgiving, which gives rise to the thought that many people have waited until near the end of the period to nominate their favorite advisor(s).

Insightful Accountant wants to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to participate in this year’s awards process for the Top 100 US ProAdvisors, the Top 50 International ProAdvisors, the Top 25^* Up-n-coming ProAdvisors, and the Top 25^*Tax Advisors, whether by ‘being nominated’ or by self-application.

Even with the extended Nomination Deadline of February 3, 2026, those individuals nominated as the Deadline approaches in February will still have at least 30 days to complete their applications after receiving notice of their nomination.

All Applicants for the 2026 Awards have until March 3, 2026, to finalize this year’s application forms.

Go HERE to Nominate A Deserving ProAdvisor (or to Apply for Yourself) for Insightful Accountant's 2026 Top Advisor Awards.

We look forward to seeing all of this year's nominees among the list of Qualified Applicants.  

A special 'thank you' to our 2026 Award Sponsors. You can find out more and support each of our 2026 Advisor Award sponsors by visiting our ProAdvisor Awards Sponsors webpage!

About Insightful Accountant’s Top Advisor Awards

Since its inception, Insightful Accountant has been the awarding entity and administrator for the ProAdvisor Awards Program, which recognizes the best QuickBooks ProAdvisors worldwide. With the 2026 incorporation of the Top Tax Advisors (who are not required to be ProAdvisors) into the overall awards program, the program is now referred to as the “Top Advisor Awards” since not all recipients may hold the title of ProAdvisor.

Applicants for these prestigious programs are ranked based on their performance across various criteria, measuring everything from QuickBooks knowledge to utilizing the best tools & partner apps within the QuickBooks ecosystem that contribute to solid practice growth. Tax Advisors will be held to similar standards based upon Intuit’s Tax-offering ecosystem.

Intuit, QuickBooks, and the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program have participated in a sponsoring advisor capacity every year since the inception of the awards. (Insightful Accountant actively monitors the nomination and application process to determine candidate qualification and equivalency and coordinates with Intuit officials and the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program should questions arise.)

*-these awards are defined as 'up to' 25 award recipients, a lesser number of award recipients could be recognized.
