The ICAS Top 100 Young CAs 2018 announced

The body asked members to nominate the CAs under 35 who were excelling in their professional lives, representing the best of ICAS in the worlds of finance, business and beyond.

ICAS said names flooded in and choosing just 100 was no easy task for the judges.

ICAS chief executive Bruce Cartwright CA, said: “A huge congratulations to all of our Top 100 Young CAs. We are delighted to recognise them and highlight the ambition, dedication, and pure talent that we have among our members.

“This new campaign has had an amazing response from CAs in every area of business. In this list, we recognise executives and entrepreneurs, accountants in business and the profession, and those involved in business transformation. The variety of roles and standard of performance is impressive.

“ICAS is immensely proud of our Top 100. We also know that there are many more worthy of recognition and we will look to recognise this in the future. We look forward to hearing of your future achievements.”

Jane Warren, CEO of our Principal Partner Investec Click & Invest, said: “Congratulations to the Top 100 Young CAs, this is a brilliant achievement that recognises your ambition to exceed in your careers. I look forward to congratulating many of you at the Young CAs Summit in June.”

All 100 CAs on the list, revealed in association with Investec Click & Invest, have been invited to join their peers and other outstanding CAs at the Young CAs Summit on 21 June, where the ICAS One Young CA 2018 will also be announced.
