How Women in Leadership are Shaking Up Tax (Podcast)

There are many women in finance these days, but there’s still a huge gap in the number of women in leadership roles.

According to the Financial and Accounting Women’s Alliance, women represent 50% of all full time staff at CPA firms, but make up just 27% of partners and principals. Even though more and more women are entering the tax and accounting professions, women are still vastly underrepresented in management and leadership roles. What will it take to buck that trend?

In this episode of the Taxgirl podcast, Kathryn Kaminsky discusses the gap of women in tax and accounting leadership. Kathryn is Vice Chair and Trust Solutions Co-Leader at PwC. In her role, she leads the combined Tax and Assurance business. She is a partner with over 25 years of experience serving the financial services industry. Kathryn was recognized in Crain’s 2019 list of Notable Women in Accounting and Consulting. One of her chief focuses in her role is the advancement of female and diverse professionals in the firm, and she regularly speaks at Universities, conferences, and PwC functions regarding career development and women in leadership.
