Abstract
Over the past several years both the share of women receiving accounting degrees and the share of women entering public accounting have risen substantially. However, the number of women holding senior positions, such as partner, remains low. This case provides data on retention of females in a large metropolitan office of a public accounting firm, asks whether the lower retention rate (relative to male associates) is a business problem for the firm, and if so, asks what the managing partner should do about it.
