Our Rising Stars Awards celebrate the incredible young talent shaping our industry’s future. Each year, we recognise individuals aged 16 to 30 who go above and beyond in their roles, championing innovation, demonstrating dedication, and bringing fresh ideas and skills into their workplaces.

This year, we’re excited to bring you two special podcast episodes featuring five of our award winners. They share their career journeys, proudest achievements, the challenges they’ve overcome, and what being named a Rising Star truly means to them.

Whether you’re just starting out, exploring a future in finance, or looking for inspiration from real role models within the industry, these episodes offer valuable insights from the 2025 Rising Star winners in accountancy, banking, diversity and inclusion, human resources, and law.
