Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

At AAFCPAs, we want our team members to feel comfortable bringing all of who they are to work, and to understand, accept, and value the differences between us.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

We know there is no single formula for improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging applicable to every company, industry, or environment. However, we believe openly sharing our actions in the spirit of collaboration will help our community achieve their goals faster than any organization could on its own.

DEI&B Mission

…to have a workforce that is as diverse as the clients we serve and a workplace that embraces the talents, perspectives, ideas, and experiences of all employees, fosters inclusion, requires respect, and promotes equal opportunities to achieve one’s full potential.
