NewswireToday - /newswire/ - London, United Kingdom, 11/19/2009 - Jess McDarren, Head of Finance at leading UK natural search conversion agency Tamar, last night won the Accountancy Age Young Accountant of the Year award.

The Accountancy Age awards mark outstanding performance in business, practice and technology, and celebrate the work that provides the bedrock for UK business. The judges were impressed with Jess’s total commitment and her ability to manage large-scale projects despite her relative inexperience.

Jess, who joined Tamar in 2005, was applauded for her selection and implementation of a highly successful management information system as well as the complex task of setting up a wholly owned business in Shanghai, which she delivered ahead of schedule. She also brought a fresh approach to the company’s registered charity, organising a rock concert to raise money.

Jess also qualified with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) this year while working full-time and bringing up two young children.

Tanya Goodin, CEO at Tamar says: “This award is a fitting end to a good year for the finance team and we’re delighted that Jess has been recognised by Accountancy Age for her success. We value our people’s development above all else at Tamar and that’s shown by Jess’s flourishing career with us since she joined as a junior accountant. We support all our staff through their professional training - even in difficult times - and Tamar's excellent staff retention shows that investment in people always pays dividends.”

Jess McDarren says: “I’m delighted to win this award, not only for myself but also for the whole Tamar team. We’re a company that thrives on competition and one of the reasons I joined Tamar four years ago was the focus I saw on delivering results.”
