How the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance (AFWA) is Empowering Women and Advancing Careers

CoverHound is thrilled to sponsor the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance (AFWA) Women Who Count Conference for another year in our shared mission to empower women in accounting and finance. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Your story matters— and we can't wait to be a part of it!

Where are all the women in finance? While the gender gap is rapidly shrinking at MBA schools, there continue to be women missing from the C-Suite at Fortune 500 companies, S&P 500 companies and Russell 3000 companies.  

While the careers of both men and women start out with about equal progress, men tend to advance in their careers at a much higher rate. This isn’t a new story; it’s an old one. One where the balance of having a family and having a job – one you’re fantastic at – is a balancing act many of us don’t feel supported in.

But that’s not the whole picture, and you aren’t alone.

Here’s another way to answer the question, “Where are all the women in finance?”  

The women in finance are together. Together, ready to empower each other. Together at the 2025 AFWA Women Who Count conference. Together, ready to lift each other up and invest in one another.  

That’s why CoverHound is once again excited to announce that CoverHound we’ll be in partnership with the Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance (AFWA) in a mission to help women in all accounting and finance fields achieve long-term success.  

Because it can be done, through long-term support and a community that understands your struggles and celebrates your triumphs. You count. At AFWA, we celebrate you and your story as we pave the way for more women to come into their accounting and finance careers.

AFWA has been supporting women in accounting and finance since 1938. It offers essential resources, educational programs, and a strong network. With 57 chapters nationwide, AFWA is committed to helping women succeed in business. ‍

Becoming an AFWA member can help you access a diverse network of empowered women leaders nationwide. It’s a community that understands your journey and provides you with the tools, knowledge, and support to excel. It’s also a perfect way to connect with fellow women who share your ambitions and drive.  

Join us on an inspiring journey as we explore what Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance (AFWA) offers and discover new professional heights together.
