Entry is free and open to sole traders, partnerships and companies that have been set up in Ireland and been in business for three years or less with up to 30 employees.
TaxAssist Accountants’ Managing Director Alison McGinley, who will be a member of the judging committee, said: “I’m honoured to be part of the judging panel, and I am looking forward to meeting with the awards finalists. We work with over 6,000 clients across Ireland so we know what a slog starting your business from scratch is. Awards like this can be a fantastic boost for your credibility so we’d strongly encourage busy entrepreneurs to take time out from their schedule to enter.”
