We have invited female leaders of large accounting firms, global networks, associations and alliances, plus senior figures in accounting fintech companies. \r\n\r\nAccounting and fintech has traditionally been a male dominated profession but times are changing. There are now more women than men in accounting generally but they are under-represented in leadership roles. Diversity and the DEI agenda has also risen to prominence as a hot topic. \r\n\r\nThe two objective of these panels are\r\n\r\nTo inspire women in the accounting/fintech profession with career insights, mistakes and lessons learned, mental resilience tips and thoughts on work balance/meaning and leadership. \r\nTo move diversity, inclusivity and culture further up the agenda for all leaders with real life stories and examples of best practice.\r\nIn today's episode 19, \"Inspirational Women Leaders in Accounting Panel 3\" features \r\n\r\nKat Wellum-Kent Fractional CFO for tech companies| Top 50 Women in Accounting 2021 https://www.linkedin.com/in/katwellum-kent/\r\nJackie Meyer Founder of TaxPlanIQ.com | the Concierge CPA https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiemeyercpa/\r\nKelly Mann Co-Founder and CEO, AuditMiner https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-mann-cpa/\r\nMaureen Penfold Managing Partner at Moore Kingston Smith LLP https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureen-penfold/\r\nYou can also watch this on youtube here: https://youtu.be/1SqlUr-1eVM\r\n\r\n****************************\r\n\r\nThis episode is sponsored by MyWorkpapers, a powerful accounting solution designed especially for accountants.
