Consider starting a fellow Advisor's new year with an email from Insightful Accountant notifying them that you have nominated them for the 2026 Advisor Awards. Now think about how you would feel if you received such an email.
I would venture to say the Advisor you nominate would be thrilled to know just how outstanding an advisor you think they are. And, I'm confident you would feel equally proud to know that someone else valued you enough to nominate you for these awards. (Murph)
New Year's is the perfect time to nominate a fellow Advisor 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.
After receiving notification of their nomination, nominees will need to complete their formal applications by March 3, 2026 (11:59:59 PM Pacific time).
By the time you read this article, there will be fewer than thirty (30) days to nominate a qualified Advisor. The Nomination Deadline is February 3, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM Pacific time.
All Applicants for the 2026 Awards have until March 3, 2026, to finalize this year’s application forms.

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.
