If it is deemed that no company fits the criteria, then no award will be given. The Prime award is given to a company that is leading in almost every category listed below.

The following are key considerations used in voting for the Prime award:

  • Reasonable management goals and expectations

  • Clear and honest communication with employees and market influencers
  • High quality products
  • Top shelf customer support
  • Significant commitment to product development and product improvement
  • Great management vision and direction for both current and future plans

“AccountantsWorld has innovated client accounting services (CAS), and payroll services for accounting firms for twenty years”, said Brian Tankersley, Director of Strategic Relationships for K2 Enterprises. “AccountantsWorld has made their product more usable and feature rich year after year.
