About Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance Greenville Chapter
The Accounting and Financial Women's Alliance (AFWA) in Greenville, SC is a chapter of the National Accounting and Financial Women's Alliance (formerly ASWA or American Society of Women Accountants). The Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance is the home for all women accounting and financial professionals whether new to the field, experienced or considering a career transition.
The Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance was formed as the American Society of Women Accountants in 1938 to increase the opportunities for women in all fields of accounting and finance. Members include partners in national, regional and local CPA firms, financial officers, controllers, academicians, financial analysts, and financial advisors and recent college graduates and women returning to the work force. The majority of members have obtained professional certifications such as CPA, CMA, CIA, and CFP. The national organization was chartered in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1938 to increase the opportunities available to women in the fields of accounting and finance. Most members have one of the following professional designations: CPA, CMA, CIA, and CFP.
The mission of AFWA is to enable women in all accounting and finance fields to achieve their full potential and to contribute to their profession.
We strive to accomplish that mission in the Greenville chapter with regular luncheon meetings and other events designed to provide opportunities for professional development and networking, and by providing scholarships for the next generation of women financial professionals.
