About Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance San Diego Chapter

Since 1938, the Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance has empowered women in accounting and finance to reach their full potential, and the San Diego chapter continues this legacy of professional and personal advancement. Founded as the American Society of Women Accountants with its first chapter in Indianapolis, AFWA has evolved into a member-driven community dedicated to supporting women throughout their careers. The San Diego chapter's mission centers on enabling women in all accounting and related fields to achieve their personal, professional, and economic potential while contributing to the future of their profession. What sets AFWA San Diego apart is its comprehensive support network—members gain access to business contacts both locally and nationally, receive personal and professional mentorship, and participate in a vibrant community of peers facing similar career challenges. The chapter provides relocation assistance for members relocating to or within the San Diego area, scholarship support for students, and a robust job referral network. Beyond professional services, AFWA San Diego fosters leadership opportunities and business skill development through meaningful connections with experienced accounting professionals. This community-centered approach transforms AFWA from a simple networking organization into a trusted partner invested in each member's success, making it an invaluable resource for women building careers in accounting and finance in San Diego.
