A number of top accounting firms, including the Big Four, have been named to Working Mother magazine's 2021 list of top workplaces for parents, now rebranded as the “Seramount 100 Best Companies.”

The annual list recognizes companies that provide new parents with top benefits and policies, including gender-neutral leave, gradual phase-back after parental leave, and accessible, affordable childcare. Rankings are determined through a survey of over 400 questions asking businesses about their workplace benefits, leave policies, flexibility policies, childcare options and more.

Deloitte, EY and PwC were recognized as “Top 10” companies on the 2021 list.

The full list of included accounting and finance firms, in alphabetical order, are as follows:

  • BDO USA;
  • Deloitte;
  • EY;
  • Grant Thornton;
  • KPMG;
  • Moss Adams;
  • PwC; and,
  • RSM US.

The publication also honored a “Working Mother of the Year” from companies featured on its Top 100 list, who were asked to share advice on how to best be a working parent. Working Mothers of the Year from accounting and finance firms include:

  • Jenny Mickeliunas, a managing director at Deloitte;
