The American Society of Women Accountants (ASWA) is a professional organization whose purpose is to advance the interest of women in all fields of accounting and finance. The Society was founded in 1938, and has since grown to include 100 chapters throughout the United States with nearly 4,000 members 1,900 of whom are CPAs. Membership has been open to men since 1974.

ASWA represents all levels within the accounting profession, from recent graduates to senior partners in major accounting firms. Members can be found throughout the workforce from academia and government to the private and public sectors. As part of our commitment to enable women in all accounting and related fields to achieve their full personal, professional and economic potential we have developed numerous initiatives like the National Partnership program, the Executive Leadership Advisory Council, the Joint National Conference, The Compass e-magazine and the ASWA Educational Foundation, among others. Similarly, ASWA works closely with administration officials and government agencies to promote our goals and to foster a necessary dialogue to promote the best practices in the industry.
