CPAs’ career opportunities vary and are endless. However, women can be overlooked for promotions. The 2022 McKinsey & Company and Lean In's Women in the Workplace report revealed that for every 100 men promoted, 87 women are promoted. And that ratio can be even more lopsided: Only 82 are women of color and 75 are Latina women.
Sponsoring and advocating for a colleague in your organization is key to career growth and achieving greater gender equity within leadership roles.
