McClelland and Telka: Women Ready to Rewrite the Rules of Accounting | The Disruptors

Representation isn't symbolic. It’s essential for the profession’s future.

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.
