Live Real Estate Accounts, an accounting and bookkeeping firm specialising in the real estate industry, is proud to announce that it is the only firm in its field to have two finalists recognised in two different categories at the prestigious Women in Finance Awards 2024. 

Marie Popovic, Business Service Accountant at Live Real Estate Accounts, has been named a finalist in the Bookkeeper of the Year category. Her exceptional work in delivering high quality bookkeeping services to real estate clients has set new benchmarks and significantly  impacted the industry. 

Equally impressive is Sadia Rehman, another Business Service Accountant at Live Real Estate Accounts, who has been named a finalist for the Small Business Adviser of the Year award.  Sadia’s expertise in accounting and payroll advisory, particularly tailored to real estate  businesses, has earned her this significant recognition. She was also recommended by the  employment bodies for her expertise in payroll, further solidifying her reputation as a  trusted adviser in the real estate industry. 

Chris Mercer, Managing Director of Live Real Estate Accounts, expressed his pride: “Having  peer-assessed recognition of Marie's professional service standards is the proudest  acknowledgment I could ask for. In a field that works so diligently and often out of the  limelight, this moment is overdue for Marie. The same can be said for Sadia Rehman, who  began her career with Live Real Estate Accounts. These recognitions are well-deserved.” 

The Women in Finance Awards, supported by principal partner Mortgage Choice, part of  realestate.com.au, honour outstanding contributions by women across 29 categories in the  finance industry. Live Real Estate Accounts’ distinction of being the only firm specialising in  the real estate sector with two finalists in two different categories underscores its  exceptional talent and influence. 

Annie Kane, Managing Editor of The Adviser, extended her congratulations to all finalists:  “Momentum Media, in partnership with Mortgage Choice, is thrilled to announce the  finalists of the Women in Finance Awards 2024. The exceptional work of women like Marie  and Sadia is vital in supporting the financial health of Australians, particularly in specialised  sectors like real estate.” 

Chris Mercer concluded, “Our team's recognition at the Women in Finance Awards  reinforces the strength of our services and our commitment to helping real estate clients  and businesses thrive, especially in challenging financial environments.”

The winners of the Women in Finance Awards 2024 will be announced at a black-tie gala at the Hyatt Regency, Sydney, on Friday, 15 November 2024.
