Wyckoff, N.J. – The New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA) has named Shannon Daly a 2023 Ovation Award winner in the Innovation category. The Ovation Awards were announced October 4 and distributed in seven categories: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; Emerging Leaders; Exceptional Educators; Impact; Innovation; Lifetime Leader and Woman to Watch. 

The Innovation category honors those who are transforming accounting at lightning speed. The recipients are driving innovation of all kinds, as it relates to accounting — leveraging new technologies, using forward-thinking data analytics strategies, implementing alternative business models or rolling out experimental engagement strategies to improve employee culture.

Shannon is a self-taught coder who utilizes this skill to create efficiencies for her forensic accounting practice. She wrote VBA/Excel code that automatically categorizes transactions. This automation saves her clients time and money during the recreation of records. She also previously created an iPhone app to assist with alimony calculations, which was accepted to Apple’s app store and was live for two years.

The NJCPA, with more than 13,000 members, represents the interests of the accounting profession and advances the financial well-being of the people of New Jersey. The NJCPA plays a leadership role in supporting the profession by providing members with educational resources, access to shared knowledge and a continuing effort to create and expand professional opportunities.
