Women in Accountancy

Ballards LLP Sound Advice

Listeners can tune in to a recording of our recent women in accounting webinar. Hosts Steven Jones and Lauren Townsend are joined by Laura Barnwell, Director at Ballards, Helen Rowland, Tax Senior at Ballards, Alex Moore, Account Manager at Ballards, and Aamirah Jama, Audit and Account Associate at Ballards.
Together, they explore several key topics, including entering accountancy by discussing qualifications and education paths, as well as partner backgrounds at Ballards. They also discuss modernising accountancy's image, covering Ballards' approach to diversity, mentorship opportunities, and flexible work arrangements. The impact of flexible working on work-life balance in the post-COVID workplace is examined, and the group compares male and female leadership styles. They also advocate for careers in accountancy for women and discuss the key features and benefits of the Ballards Graduate Program.
