    Billed as a podcast for women in the accounting profession, these are really conversations that I think most anyone would find thought-provoking, enjoyable, fresh, and at times quite moving. So many great guests!

  • A chat with your girls if your girls were accountants

    She Counts is designed to talk about the issues facing female accountants in their profession. Just finished listening to episode two about working through personal crisis when you own a firm. It resonated with me on so many levels. I do not own my own firm (yet) but going through my own mental crisis a lot of this episode resonated with me. I can’t wait to see what topics they cover in future.
