Forget about the traditional image of accountants as being somewhat conservative males. In recent years there’s been a rapid growth in the numbers of women in the accounting profession, and now the US Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that 61.1% of all accountants and auditors are females.

This incredible swing in the gender balance of the accounting profession is even more apparent when compared to other BLS data showing that women made up just 39% of all accountants and auditors in 1983, 44.1% in 1985 and just made it across the barrier at 52.1% in 1995.

A Woman's Place is in Accounting

According to the New York-based American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), across firms of all sizes, women now occupy between 11% and 31% of all senior leadership positions (which include policy-level partners, official managing partners, and directors of tax/audit/consulting/industry specialties).
