About

When we talk about money, we talk about power. We think we should be talking about money more.

We Talk Money is a place for all financial professionals who have previously felt unwelcome, unqualified, or intimidated and who want to increase their visibility and thought-leadership potential in the industry. Our primary focus is about getting more inclusive speakers on stage at accounting and fintech conferences. We believe we need a two-prong approach to setting our industries’ conference programming on a path to gender parity:

1) Show conference organizers just how many experienced, expert speakers there are in this space that are not cis-white men. To do this, we built the directory.

2) Set inclusive professionals in this space up to thrive on conference stages with workshops, training, and opportunities to hone their speaking skills. We run professional development programs like this through Fearless Foundry.

For Conference Organizers

We have compiled a list of over one hundred talented, experienced speakers from around the world that are experts in areas of accounting, personal finance, and fintech. We were hugely inspired by the work of Christina Wodtke, Danielle Barnes, and their team at Women Talk Design.

Browse the directory. You can filter and search by expertise, location, and name. Want a custom curated list of recommended speakers? Contact us.

For Speakers

It is our sincere belief that by creating this resource, we will dispel the idea that speakers that aren’t men are hard to find, uplift and encourage folks to share their stories, and change the conversation about whose voice matters in the world of finance.

Land Acknowledgement

We Talk Money started in Seattle, WA. We acknowledge that we work on land that is the ancestral home of the Duwamish and many other Indigenous peoples recorded and unrecorded, who have been the custodians of this land since time immemorial. As guests and — in many of our cases — as settlers on this land, we extend our deepest gratitude and respect to their ancestors and elders past, present, and future. 

Part of our understanding of how to honor Coast Salish protocol is by making material gifts to the Indigenous peoples of this land as a way of recognizing their genealogical responsibility to the well-being of the territory and all beings who make a home here.
