The Accounting and Financial Women’s Alliance (originally known as the American Society of Women Accountants) was organized in 1938 in Indianapolis, Indiana for the purpose of increasing the opportunities for women in all fields of accounting and finance.
The mission of AFWA is to enable women in all accounting and related fields to achieve their full personal, professional and economic potential and to contribute to the future development of their profession.
Members include partners in national, regional and local CPA firms, financial officers, controllers, academicians, financial analysts and data processing consultants, as well as college students and women returning to the work force.
