Rehmann recognized as a leading firm for women by Accounting MOVE Project

Rehmann has been named to the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance 2022 Best CPA Firms for Women list, as well as the 2022 Best CPA Firms for Equity Leadership. This is the firm’s tenth time being named on the Best CPA Firms for Women list and the third consecutive year it’s been named a Best CPA Firm for Equity Leadership.

“Rehmann is committed to providing a flourishing work environment for our women associates,” said Amy Flourry, Director of Operations for Rehmann Wealth and Women’s Initiative Network Council Chair. “The success of our firm is dependent on the varied knowledge and experience provided by our diverse team.”

At Rehmann, women currently comprise 36 percent of the firm’s leadership roles, which is higher than average amongst Best Firms. The firm additionally offers leadership development resources as well as work-life initiatives that support balanced professional and personal development.

“The COVID-19 pandemic catapulted radical changes to work environments and expectations, which exponentially impacted women,” said Stacie Kwaiser, COO and CEO-elect of Rehmann. “Rehmann addressed these issues head-on, building on our existing DEI tactics to provide realistic options for women in the workplace.”

The methodology for both lists is maintained by the Accounting MOVE Project, an annual survey of leading financial and accounting firms. The survey considers several factors proven to be essential to women’s career success including money and fair pay practices; opportunities for advancement; support of work-life programs; and operating experience for managing or business ownership.

“Rehmann is dedicated to staying up to date on industry research and implementing the necessary work environment changes based on those results,” Kwaiser said. “We are proud of this recognition and acknowledge that firm-wide growth is dependent on the continual development of our DEI strategies.”

The survey also highlighted growing industry trends related to the advancement of women in firms including a call for “career fluid” work cultures, an increased ask for more responsibility by younger women, and the rise of sabbaticals.
