by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

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.
