Abstract
Women continue to be under-represented at senior levels in the workplace, in spite of several policy initiatives aimed at addressing this imbalance. In professional accounting firms, there is still significant disparity between the number of men and women, particularly at partnership level, despite the large number of women entering the profession. This interview-based study of both male and female senior managers and directors within Big 4 and large professional accounting firms investigates various explanatory factors, exploring the inter-relationship between external pressures and active choices in women's career progression and in the under-representation of women in senior positions.
