The Disruptors

With Liz Farr

Accounting pros Nancy McClelland, CPA, and Questian Telka, EA, are pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be a woman in the accounting world—with all the messy, maddening, and motivating moments that come with it.

Their new podcast, She Counts, is more than just a talk show—it’s a movement. Aimed at ending the isolation so many women in accounting face, the show tackles taboo topics, ugly truths, and everything in between.
