An Aurora, Illinois-based business, SDC CPAs is an established provider of global investigation and forensic accounting services. It was founded to service crime insurance claim adjusters and attorneys dealing with financial institutions as well as commercial, non-profit, and governmental entities, on fidelity, crime, faithful performance, and commercial surety claims. In operation since 2001, SDC CPAs is a member of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Counsel (WBENC) and a certified women-owned firm working within the accounting industry.
It wasn’t until 1910 that the first women entered the accounting field, a milestone that paved the way for an increasing number of women to advance in the financial sector. At present, 60 percent of professionals working within the accounting field are women, although most of them work in entry to mid-level roles and less than 20 percent hold C-suite positions. However, it is projected that an increasing number of women will enter C-suite roles as the use of cloud-based technology and flexible workplace arrangements are implemented.
According to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ CPA Firm Gender Survey conducted in 2015, women only hold 24 percent of partnership positions at CPA firms. However, the trend for women to move into partnership positions is steadily increasing, as 19 percent of women worked in these roles in 2013.
