A Community for Future-Focused Accountants

If you’re looking for more than just numbers and spreadsheets, and want to use your skills to make a real difference in the world, the Accounting Alchemy Network (AAN) is a community built for people just like you—people who see accounting as more than just financial statements but as a TOOL for social change, sustainability, and ethical leadership.

Founded by Ingrid Edstrom, Mathew Heggem, and Alina Nikishina, AAN is on a mission to transform the accounting profession. Instead of just following traditional paths, AAN challenges accountants to think differently—focusing on:

• Environmental Sustainability – Learn how accountants can play a role in creating a greener future.
• Social Equity & Inclusion – Explore Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives that shape the modern workplace.
• Ethical & Intentional Financial Practices – Discover how accounting can drive POSITIVE ECONOMIC CHANGE rather than just profits.

Every month, AAN hosts interactive forums called “Lyceums”, where students and professionals discuss real-world topics like ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, ethical business practices, and regenerative economics. They embrace networking with FORWARD-THINKING professionals – whether accountants, entrepreneurs, or changemakers – who want to rethink the role of finance in society.

AAN partners with Pachamama Alliance to offer programs like the Awakener and Game Changer Intensive (GCI)—helping members connect GLOBAL ISSUES WITH PERSONAL ACTION.

Whether you’re just starting out or already working in accounting, AAN provides support, resources, and a judgment-free space to explore new ideas.

The FUTURE OF ACCOUNTING isn’t just about crunching numbers—it’s about making an impact. If you’re looking for a community that values ethics, innovation, and real-world change, AAN is the place for you!
