The Luca Pacioli Accounting Awards, formerly known as the Customer Superstar Awards, are named in honor of Luca Pacioli – known as the “father of accounting” – and his contributions to the profession. Pacioli was a monk, magician, and lover of numbers. He was also a domain expert who recognized the opportunity to harness new technologies.

Thanks to the newly invented printing press, Pacioli’s book, Summa de arithmetica, was mass produced in 1494, and his ideas spread widely. The book set the precedent for the modern accounting system used today, introducing the concepts of ledgers, journals, and bookkeeping. Winners of the Luca Pacioli Accounting Awards embody Pacioli’s spirit of invention and innovation and demonstrate a mastery of accounting and technology.

Thomson Reuters will announce winners of the Luca Pacioli Accounting Awards at the annual SYNERGY users’ conference to be held in Denver, Colo., Nov. 6-9, 2019.
