Meet the 2026 Best Firms for Women

Each year, Accounting Today partners with Best Companies Group to produce our Best Accounting Firms to Work For list — and then we dive deeper into that list to find out which of those 100 firms are the top workplaces for women, which we're happy to present here.

While the first list is based on the firms' employment and benefits policies and the results of an anonymous survey of staff overall on their employment experience, the 20 firms here were chosen specifically because of the positive experience of their female employees — and experience often enhanced by the kinds of inclusive, human-first cultures these firms are building.

Specific criteria for inclusion: Firms are selected from Accounting Today's 2026 Best Firms to Work For. They must have a minimum of 15 women, regardless of the overall size of the firm, while those with more than 60 employees must have a minimum of 25% women. The female response rate to the employee survey of the Best Firms to Work For program must be greater than or equal to 40% (80% for employers with fewer than 25 women), and firms must have an 80% average positive response for women.
