PwC named Vault.com's best firm to work for in 2022

Online career resource Vault published its annual "Accounting 25" list on Monday, ranking the 25 best accounting firms to work for in 2022.

Utilizing the feedback of more than 9,700 professionals, firms were ranked according to a number of factors, such as firm reputation, culture and overall job satisfaction.

Big Four firms PwC, Deloitte and KPMG took the top three spots, respectively, on the overall ranking, with PwC taking the top spot for the ninth straight year. Fellow Big Four firm EY notably ranked at No. 29.

"In another year of unprecedented change, numerous accounting professionals told us about the effects the Great Resignation is having on their hours, work-life balance, wellness and overall satisfaction," the site noted. "Many accounting professionals tell us they feel overworked due to staff shortages and underpaid for the extra work they're taking on, and don't think their firms will be able to sustain the pace they're on if hiring doesn't increase."

Vault further broke down its rankings into different categories and subcategories, including firm prestige, practice area rankings and diversity. PwC ranked No. 1 in prestige and No 1. in all three practice areas (audit and assurance, tax and forensic accounting). Schellman ranked No. 1 in all diversity subcategories, including overall diversity, racial/ethnic, women and LGBTQ+.
