From www.accountingweb.co.uk: (UK context) Zoe Whitman, founder of The 6 Figure Bookkeeper, highlights the ongoing challenges women face in the accounting profession, including outdated biases and a lack of flexibility in corporate jobs, especially for those balancing childcare.

Despite some progress, she feels the profession still has a long way to go in supporting women and fostering equality, with many opting for self-employment due to inadequate workplace support.

Building a strong community among women in accounting is vital for empowerment and change, according to Whitman.
