New Movement
Advocates for
Major Shift in
Accounting
Profession
By Alina Nikishina
FORMED AND LED by two former honorees of CPA Practice Advisor's " 40
under 40 " and " 20 under 40 " Awards, the Accounting Alchemy Network
(AAN) movement is advocating for a major shift in the accounting profession
by empowering accountants to be a force for positive change in the world.
Ingrid Edstrom and Mathew Heggem founded
AAN as a response to the acknowledgement that
the current financial narratives in our culture
and, by extension, the practices of the accounting
profession are unsustainable. According to
Edstrom and Heggem, accounting professionals
are in a uniquely powerful position to steward
forth a new regenerative story of money and
finance that is not extractive of our planet or
exploitative of our people, leveraging practices
that take into consideration our impact as a
lyceum
[ lahy-see-uhm ]
noun
an institution for popular education providing
discussions, lectures, concerts, etc.
profession on issues like climate change, racial
equity, and intentional economic structures. The
AAN vision is to create a world where accounting
professionals are a positive force in developing
a sustainable and regenerative global ecosystem
and culture.
" Simply and bluntly put - 'business as usual'
practices are not only destroying our planet,
but they're also outdated and need to change if
we want to be financially abundant, attract the
best talent, and provide the best service to the
clients of today, " said Alina Nikishina, an inactive
CPA and one of AAN's leading supporters and
founding members.
" Being a force for positive change in the world "
sounds like a mission that's easy to support, yet
questions remain: Where does one start? How
does one actually do this?

" Together, we are building the
playbook for how accountants
and their clients can make
positive change by simply
increasing their awareness of the
key issues facing our world and
using that awareness to make
more intentional decisions on a
daily basis. We don't have all the
answers now, but we have a lot
of brilliant people in our network
who are collaborating to uncover
the problems and create possible
solutions. "
- INGRID EDSTROM
AAN officially opened its doors to founding
members in March 2022 and has already attracted
attention and support from major players and
