Embracing neurodiversity: How to build inclusive accounting firms from the inside out
Meghan BlairFounder, Fogged in Bookkeeping
Meghan Blair, founder of Fogged In Bookkeeping, has always felt that she was the square peg trying to fit in a round hole.
But it wasn’t until she was well into her adulthood, on a chance encounter, that she discovered the years of being a ‘misfit’ were actually signs of her neurodivergence.
Neurodiversity honors and celebrates the reality that not all people experience and interact with the world in the same way. In fact, it’s estimated that one in five people are neurodivergent.
Meghan has cracked the code of thriving in a neurotypical world as a person with ADHD. She has built and sold a successful accounting firm and learned valuable lessons in navigating neurodiversity as an owner, leader, manager, and service provider.
