Can we raise money in this challenging time? Well, many of our bigger donors have more cash right now, quite a few have seen investments balloon, and the need is very great. Gail Perry spends her time helping fundraisers and non-profit leaders. And she thinks we should look at it differently. It's not about a better "pitch." Sometimes, we just need to get out of our own way, maximize our use of emotional intelligence, the right metrics, and focus on the joy of giving for donors. We unpack what's going on right now in the midst of a pandemic, the best ways that fundraisers can engage donors, and how philanthropy is thriving at a time we need it the most.

Gail Perry is a woman who can say she has done a lot of awesome things! She talks about how she transitioned from having a music major in college to picking up writing and journalism, to bookkeeping and running her own movie theater! She also talks about how these experiences helped her in her career as an accountant!

Gail Perry is the editor-in-chief of CPA Practice Advisor. Each year they name a list of the Top 40 people under 40 in the accounting profession. We spoke at a gathering of those selected last year.

The path to equality is hardly linear, at least that's what we've been told by those who have been paving the way since long before we began walking down it. Sometimes it feels like we're hardly making progress, at least that is until our own lived experiences are held up to the wider historical context. It's easy to look at today's political & social climate and ask “Why aren't we further along?”. Yet it wasn't until I sat down with Gail Perry, author, advocate, and accounting industry legend that I realized how far we have come in just her lifetime.During our conversation, Gail told me a story about an experience she had early in her career working for a Top 4 accounting firm. The firm had a particularly prominent tax client that refused to “have their taxes done by a woman”. Because of her expertise, the firm assigned Gail the tax client. However, because of the client's disparaging belief about the intellect & abilities of women, a male colleague led meetings with them while she whispered tax advice to him from behind a curtain. The image this story conjures up feels laughable on the surface and seems to be something out of some long forgotten era. But it was the reality for a woman whose own two daughters have only just embarked on their own careers in the last decade. Yes, we've made progress. But we have so far left to go. That is what I took away from my conversation with Gail. That, and the fact that the only way we're going to reach our desired goals if we stop asking for permission to be a part of things. It's time for women to stop waiting to be invited and to start claiming our seats at the table. And if we aren't invited to the table, we have to recognize and own the fact that we have the power and abilities to create our own. It's easy to sit back and say that there should be more representation & equality in the working world. It takes a lot more effort to show up & speak up about these issues and make space for others to do the same. We often trip ourselves up thinking things need to be polished & completely perfect, but as the author 34 books and the editor-in-chief of one of the most influential publishers in the accounting industries, Gail Perry is a testament to the progress that can be made simply by showing up & putting in the work. For that, and for her incredible candor & support of women in the accounting industry, she will always be someone who continues to inspire women to show up for themselves & teach others to do the same.The Finding Fearless Podcasts primary purpose is to highlight female entrepreneurs' voices.

Ron and Ed were at Sage Summit 2017 in Atlanta and recorded an episode (or two) featuring a great panel discussion on the premise that accounting and innovation are not opposites (i.e. not an oxymoron). While the job description for accounting professionals has largely stayed the same, technologies and laws have come into play to change the way business is done. It is time that accountants alter the way they do business to keep up with the shifting tide.
