Description

She Doesn’t Clock Out, And Yet, She Powers South Africa’s Economy Women in finance do more than balance books, they balance lives, expectations, and entire ecosystems. From tax compliance to team leadership, household duties to mentorship, their contribution is constant, and often invisible. The 2025 Sage Women’s Day with CIBA honours this unseen resilience. This event is dedicated to the professionals who never clock out, even when the workday ends. Through shared stories, practical sessions, and innovative tools, we lighten the load and spotlight the strength behind the spreadsheets. Join us to connect, reflect, and empower the woman who carries it all, in her practice, her family, and her profession.
