• As a leader in migraine treatment, AbbVie is committed to addressing the impact of migraine in the workplace.
• 2025 honorees represent a diverse group of achievers—from teachers and authors to small business owners and aspiring yoga and meditation instructors—each redefining success while living with migraine.
• Presenteeism accounts for nearly 90% of migraine-related productivity loss, impacting careers, finances, and overall well-being.¹

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced the 20 recipients of its second annual AbbVie Migraine Career Catalyst Award™ contest, an initiative that helps people living with migraine pursue their career and professional development goals. Each winner received $2,500 in financial support to invest in opportunities that advance their aspirations, from continued education and training to creating healthier, more supportive work environments.

Migraine affects one in six people and is present in nearly every workplace. Still, despite its widespread impact and significant costs, awareness and understanding remain limited. Amid these challenges, many people living with migraine continue to redefine what is possible, showing remarkable resilience and advocacy in both their personal and professional lives.

The contest drew entries from across the United States, with winners representing a broad mix of professions and life stages. Despite the challenges that migraine often presents, each recipient shared a powerful story of resilience, ambition, and commitment to advancing their professional goals. Among the 20 awardees, several shared reflections on what the recognition means to them and how it will help shape their professional paths:

• “Receiving the AbbVie Migraine Career Catalyst Award is not just a financial boost; it’s a profound validation of my resilience,” said Debbie D., a user interface designer from California who has lived with migraine for more than 40 years and experienced significant stigma in the office. “However, the award shows that my ambition is seen and supported, offering the tools I need to thrive and advance my career without compromising my health. Most importantly, it empowers me to be a visible example to others that it is truly possible to succeed despite migraine.”
• “I sat in the teacher’s lounge when it hit—my skull tightened, pressure crushing. The words on my computer blurred, my vision fracturing into bursts of color. Stars danced in the corners of my sight,” wrote Garcie C., an educator from Massachusetts who lives with Chronic Migraine. “Winning the AbbVie Migraine Career Catalyst Award means so much to me because it honors not only my journey but also the collective experiences of women navigating motherhood, migraine disability, and work within systems not designed for our realities.”
• “This award marks the beginning of a new chapter, one filled with purpose and possibility,” said Laura M., a communicator and designer from Indiana whose migraine attacks disrupted her plans to attend law school. “I am grateful for the opportunity to build a career that aligns with who I am while navigating life with migraine.”

Many people with migraine continue to face stigma, bias and insufficient support in their professional lives.² The AbbVie Migraine Career Catalyst Award contest was created to help close this gap, providing recognition, resources, and visibility for individuals whose careers have been disrupted by migraine. By supporting their goals, AbbVie is helping to foster greater understanding of the realities of living and working with migraine.

“AbbVie is helping shift how workplaces and society understand migraine, while empowering individuals to thrive and pursue their goals,” said Jag Dosanjh, senior vice president, AbbVie, and president, neuroscience and eye care. “We recognize that migraine doesn’t just interrupt workdays, it can alter career trajectories. We’re proud to be the only company to offer three treatment options that address the spectrum of migraine and we are continuing to research and drive innovation to uncover new therapies that can help people living with this debilitating disease.”

Intuit Enterprise Suite provides growing businesses with enterprise-grade power and AI-driven intelligence that simplifies complexities, boosts productivity and profitability

Cherry Bekaert guides businesses to achieve success, combining the power of innovative solutions with curated advisory services

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & RALEIGH, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, today announced a partnership with Cherry Bekaert, a top 20 advisory, assurance, and tax firm, to deliver Intuit Enterprise Suite to the firm’s growing client list of businesses needing a powerful, AI-native, ERP solution that drives growth.

Together, Intuit and Cherry Bekaert will deliver meaningful client services coupled with Intuit’s AI-native, intelligent ERP platform, which simplifies the complexities of scaling, multi-entity businesses and automates workflows through a modern, intuitive experience. Cherry Bekaert, with an established Accounting Outsourcing practice, will further scale its practice and support clients through every stage of growth by seamlessly upgrading its current QuickBooks clients and bringing new businesses onto Intuit’s business platform.

“Cherry Bekaert helps clients overcome challenges, deliver efficiencies, and drive growth through the adoption of innovative technologies and forward-thinking advisory services,” said Simon Williams, vice president, accountant segment, Intuit. “This partnership enables Cherry Bekaert to continue to meet the needs of its scaling clients with Intuit Enterprise Suite to streamline workflows and deliver proactive, data-driven insights that drive faster decisions and fuel profitability.”

Today’s growing mid-market businesses are more complex. They’re often overserved by legacy ERP systems that are expensive, time-consuming and costly to install and learn. Mid-market businesses are also over-digitized, using up to 25 different apps to manage and run their business. This leads to a fragmented tech stack with data silos, resulting in limited visibility into business performance, a lack of integrated workflows, and an inability to make data-backed, confident decisions.

Intuit Enterprise Suite is transforming how more complex, mid-market businesses grow, eliminating the need for companies to adopt costly, legacy ERPs or juggle multiple applications to manage their operations. It provides businesses with an adaptable, intelligent, AI-native ERP solution that includes multi-entity and multi-dimensional financial management capabilities, business intelligence and reporting, payments and bill pay, project profitability, payroll, HR, and marketing, in one connected, scalable, cloud-based platform. It also provides tailored workflows and reports and connects to an extensive partner ecosystem to create an optimized and customized experience that meets unique, industry-specific needs.

For Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Intuit, working alongside Cherry Bekaert, simplified their financial management and reporting with Intuit Enterprise Suite, demonstrating how Intuit’s platform helps businesses stay focused on their top priorities. “At Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, our mission is to be the best cinema by delivering an unforgettable moviegoing experience—and that starts behind the scenes,” said Joseph Edwards, executive vice president, Cojeaux Cinemas, an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema franchise. “Intuit Enterprise Suite streamlines our finances and reporting, delivers insights that guide operations, and allows us to spend less time in the back office, so we can focus on what matters most: our team members and our guests.”

Intuit and Cherry Bekaert will kick off their partnership in the coming weeks with a series of events in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas. The events are designed for CFOs, Controllers, and business owners interested in implementing financial strategies that simplify, modernize, and help scale businesses with Cherry Bekaert’s comprehensive advisory offerings and Intuit Enterprise Suite.

“Cherry Bekaert is focused on reimagining the future for mid-market businesses with our forward-thinking, proactive advisory approach alongside the deployment of innovative, transformative solutions that drive growth,” Matt Brady, chief growth officer, Cherry Bekaert Advisory LLC. “Intuit Enterprise Suite is reimagining ERP software with a disruptive platform solution that meets the needs of complex businesses with end-to-end financial management and workflow automations, reporting, and AI-driven insights, all in one place, that’s simple to access and quick to adopt.”
