Who are the most influential leaders in the professional accounting space? Increasingly, they are female professionals who are CPAs, consultants or developing the technologies that help all accounting pros be more efficient and productive.
CPA Practice Advisor has announced the recipients of its 2014 Most Powerful Women in Accounting awards, which recognizes each for their significant contributions to the profession. While some are directly engaged in day-to-day client service as a partner or senior member of an accounting practice, others serve in roles as varied as consulting, media, software development, and even in political office.
