Abramson earned a Silver Globee^® in the Woman Excellence of the Year in Accounting and Finance category.

During her nine-year tenure as CEO of Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting, Abramson, who has also been named by Accounting Today as one of the Top 100 People Preparing for the Future in tax and accounting, has:

• Consistently driven organic growth within the Wolters Kluwer division she leads;
• Expanded the Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting portfolio beyond traditional offerings into key, strategic adjacencies that help offices of the CFO address new market needs, including Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) reporting and supply chain planning; and
• Led her division’s rapid technology transformation, evolving it from delivering strictly on-premise software to full cloud maturity.

Karen Abramson, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting said:

“The best barometer of our success is the degree to which tax and accounting firms and corporate offices of the CFO leverage our technology solutions to drive their own growth, efficiency, resilience and agility. That’s why I'm particularly grateful for this recognition from the Women World Awards – it's an honor that at its core acknowledges our team’s relentless commitment to driving true technological transformation with the tax and accounting industry.”
