Outstanding work is not exclusive to the top level of an organization, so recognition should not be limited to those select few individuals. Every year, RecognizeDC honors the achievements of the often overlooked and underappreciated, Accounting Executive. More widely known as the disseminators of financial information to all interested parties, these professionals are simultaneously the lead analyzer, interpreter, problem solver, company historian and number translator for non-number people. Excellence in Accounting Executives leads to excellence throughout the company and is therefore an achievement to be celebrated.
