Core offering

Women of IFA Network (WIN) is a professional networking initiative operating within the International Fiscal Association (IFA), representing and connecting over 2,600 female professionals working in international taxation globally. WIN delivers dedicated sessions and gatherings at IFA's annual Congresses and regional conferences, supports national-level WIN groups coordinated through IFA's 70+ branches, and maintains an annual profile book of women in tax to drive visibility, referral networking, and career advancement.

Product overview

Women of IFA Network (WIN) is a professional networking initiative within the International Fiscal Association (IFA), not a traditional software product. WIN operates as a community platform focused on connecting female professionals in international taxation. The offering consists primarily of networking events, mentorship coordination, and visibility initiatives rather than a technology product. IFA's broader portfolio includes annual congresses, the IFA Cahiers publication, the IFA Mentoring Platform, IFA Webinars, the Global IFA Travelling Lectureship Programme, and various awards programs (IFA Congress Award, Mitchell B. Carroll Award, Poster Programme). WIN leverages these existing IFA structures to serve its community of over 2,600 female members across the globe.

Broad incumbents

• Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP): STEP is a global professional association for practitioners in trust, estate, and succession planning, with cross-border tax as a major practice area. It is comparable to IFA/WIN as an international professional body for senior cross-border tax and structuring practitioners, and shares many members with the IFA ecosystem.
• International Bar Association (IBA): The IBA is a global organisation for legal practitioners, with a Taxation Section that organises international tax conferences and policy work. It overlaps with WIN in hosting international tax events and convening senior tax professionals, but operates as a broader legal-industry incumbent.
• Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT): CIOT is the leading professional body in the UK for tax professionals, with international tax as a significant practice domain. While UK-focused, it overlaps with WIN in addressing international tax competency development and convening senior practitioners, serving as a comparable professional-body incumbent.
• Tax Executives Institute (TEI): TEI is the international association of in-house corporate tax professionals, addressing international tax policy, cross-border tax issues, and professional development. It serves a closely overlapping membership profile with WIN (international tax professionals) but as a broader professional body rather than a women's network.
• American Bar Association Section of Taxation: The ABA Tax Section is a major US-based professional body for tax lawyers, with significant international tax programming and a women's initiative of its own. It overlaps with WIN's domain of international tax and shares the women-in-tax leadership development objective.

Direct peers

• Association of International Tax Professionals (AITP): AITP is an international network of cross-border tax professionals that, like WIN, focuses on knowledge-sharing, networking, and professional development specifically within international taxation. It targets a closely overlapping membership base but lacks WIN's women-only focus and IFA institutional backing.
• 100 Women in Finance: 100 Women in Finance is a global membership organisation for women in the finance industry, focused on education, mentorship, and networking across alternative investments, private equity, and adjacent fields. It is directly comparable to WIN as a women's professional network targeting senior finance practitioners globally.
• Young IFA Network (YIN): YIN is the sibling early-career network within IFA, structurally analogous to WIN as a constituency-focused initiative operating through IFA's branches, congresses, and app. YIN and WIN share the same parent ecosystem, distribution channels, and member-engagement model, making it the most directly comparable peer.

Emerging players

• WomenCorporateDirectors (WCD): WCD is a global membership organisation for women corporate board directors, focused on advancing boardroom gender diversity. It is comparable to WIN as a women's professional network targeting senior decision-makers, but operates in the corporate governance domain rather than international tax specifically.

Others

• Catalyst: Catalyst is a global nonprofit focused on advancing women in the workplace through research, advisory, and inclusion initiatives. While not a tax-specific network, it shares WIN's broader objective of increasing women's leadership representation and is a relevant adjacent peer for benchmarking women's professional advancement programmes.
