Since 1974, and the passing of The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, American women have unfettered access to banking. Despite nearly 50 years of financial female firsts, women remain largely absent from high finance.

Today, we sit down with Brooke Lively, president at Cathedral Capital to discuss why so few women are in finance, why she prefers to hire mothers, and the six key numbers your firm needs to understand to increase your bottom line.

So often women in male-dominated sectors like finance and law feel intimidated and hit obstacles their male counterparts will never encounter. Fed up, Brooke forged her own path. She holds an MBA in Investments and Corporate Finance. And after graduation, built a 7- figure company in under 2 years. As a Chartered Financial Analyst, she and her team work with Hall of Famers, INC 5000 businesses, CEOs, and Small Business Owners to help turn businesses into profitable companies.
