Leadership Opportunities for Women Increasing
Source: Accounting Today
Programs for women are flowing down from the Big Four to smaller firms. One important reason to have more women in top positions is that over half of U.S. businesses are owned by women.Yet only 15 percent of women CPAs become partners in CPA firms.
Programs for advancing women include:- Joint programs with law firms and banks to develop women business community leadership.
- Case studies in newsletters on part-time and flex-time programs used by women in the firm.
- Women’s programs for developing networks.
- Mentoring programs for women.
- Conferences teaching communications skills.
- Sponsorships (like mentors) to promote career advancement and integration of careers with personal lives.
