Botkeeper has been named the winner of a Bronze Stevie® Award in the Achievement in Growth category in the 19th Annual American Business Awards® today.

The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.'s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. 

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning "crowned," the awards will be virtually presented to winners during a live event on Wednesday, June 30. 

More than 3,800 nominations — a record number — from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Virtual Event of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. Botkeeper was nominated in the Achievement in Growth category for Revolutionizing the Accounting Space.

Botkeeper creates efficiencies and solves resource gaps so Accounting Partners can manage more clients and interact with existing clients more frequently. With its unique focus exclusively on accounting firms, Botkeeper has been able to save Accounting Partners over $6 million annually in bookkeeping costs and over 507,000 hours per year. This in turn allows Accounting Partners to see a 30 to 50% decrease in their bookkeeping costs, a massive reduction in human error with Botkeeper's 99% accuracy rate, and it allows them to shift their focus to higher-level advisory services that generate higher revenue and margins for the firm.

"Botkeeper is honored to be a Bronze award recipient of the 2021 Stevie Award," says Jessica King, VP of Marketing at Botkeeper. "Throughout 2020 and now into 2021, we have focused internally on our team and culture. In turn, we have been able to continue to revolutionize the way the accounting profession works, providing superior AI and ML technology to bring greater efficiency and time savings through use of our purpose-built solution. Recently, we have been recognized in the Financial Times 'The Americas' Fastest Growing Companies 2021,' we have a new collaboration with Xero and we created a model shift to require SMBs interested in using Botkeeper to do so through our Partner Community of firms. Adaptation, continuous improvement and collaboration will continue to innovate us through this year."

More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year's Stevie Award winners.

"The American economy continues to show its resilience, and as we're poised on the beginning of what should be a phenomenal period of growth, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of a wide range of organizations and people over the past 18 months," said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher. "This year's Stevie-winning nominations in The American Business Awards are testament to the ingenuity, the commitment, the passion, the adaptability, and the creativity of the American people.  We look forward to celebrating this year's winners during our virtual ceremony on June 30."
