Accounting MOVE Project

NEW PRESS RELEASE – 2026 MOVE PROJECT UPDATE!

AFWA is a proud sponsor of the Accounting MOVE Project, the only annual benchmarking research and advocacy report that equips accounting and advisory firms to recruit, retain and advance women and other underrepresented groups into firm leadership. MOVE’s research supports:

• Advocacy for women, including women of color

• In-depth reports released directly and through publishing partners

2025 MOVE Report, The Cost of Losing Talent: Why Belonging is Essential for Firm Resilience & Growth

All participating firms receive confidential snapshots or scorecards based on their survey and interview responses that celebrate areas where they are succeeding and offer guidance and proven best practices to address challenges and areas that are holding women and diverse staff back.
