The multi-day event, organized by the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance (AFWA), is designed to support and advance women in accounting and finance. With a history rooted in the 80+ year legacy of the AFWA (founded in 1938), this conference provides networking, professional development, and CPE credits, featuring sessions on tax, leadership, and industry trends.
The conference stems from the AFWA’s mission to enable women in all accounting and finance fields to achieve their full personal, professional, and economic potential and to contribute to the future development of their profession.
What started as a local event has grown into a signature annual conference, bringing together professionals at all stages of their careers, from students and early-career accountants to firm leaders and industry executives. Over the years, the conference has become known for:
Thought-provoking keynote speakers
Practical professional development sessions
Honest conversations about career growth, leadership, and work-life integration
A welcoming community that supports women at every stage
Each year, the Women Who Count™ Conference continues to evolve while staying grounded in its original purpose: to create a space where women in accounting are seen, supported, and empowered
A transformative experience for women in accounting and finance — built around real conversations, practical insight, and powerful connection.
Meet women who understand your challenges, celebrate your wins, and walk alongside you long after the conference ends.
