Listen " Amplifying Women Who Count: The Wave of Women’s Conferences Shaping Accounting"

Episode Synopsis


Nancy and Questian sit down with three powerhouse conference organizers who are reshaping the accounting event landscape: Sharrin Fuller (AFWA Women Who Count), Erin Pohan (WAVE Conference), and Madeline Reeves (Advisory Amplified tour). These women discuss pricing psychology shaped by wage gaps, navigating traditional gender roles as primary breadwinners, and why smaller, women-led conferences create space for vulnerability and real connection that larger industry events often miss. The conversation explores everything from the loneliness of firm ownership to getting a seat at the table without being labeled "emotional," and highlights three of the most important educational opportunities of the year.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsJustine Lackey's The Incubator - https://justinelackey.com/registerKeeper  -  https://keeper.app/shecounts/(00:00) - Welcome to She Counts
