In any other country, Hina Usmani would just be doing her day job but in Pakistan — as a woman accountant in a man-dominated field — she is at the forefront of changing an entire work culture.

Now 50, Usmani was only the tenth woman in the whole of the 188 million-strong nation to qualify as a chartered accountant, and the first to do so in her extended family.

In 2010, after a successful two-decade career, she decided to dedicate her experience to founding an all-woman accountancy firm which not only offers accountants flexible hours that work well for their domestic life but also focuses on helping women entrepreneurs.
