Clark Nuber named a 2026 Best Firm for Women and Best Firm for Equity Leadership.

Clark Nuber named a 2026 Best Firm for Women and Best Firm for Equity Leadership. BELLEVUE, Wash., October 26, 2026 - Clark Nuber PS, one of the Pacific Northwest's largest independent CPA firms, has been recognized by the Accounting MOVE Project as both a 2026 Best Firm for Women and a 2026 Best Firm for Equity Leadership, reflecting the firm's strong representation of women throughout its leadership pipeline. Women currently hold 68% of Clark Nuber's partner and principal positions, 67% of management committee seats and 83% of senior manager roles. Among firms recognized for Equity Leadership in this year's Accounting MOVE Project, Clark Nuber has the second-highest percentage of women partners and principals. "The future of Clark Nuber depends on continuing to build a culture where talented people want to build their careers," said Tom Sulewski, President and CEO of Clark Nuber. "This recognition reflects the progress we've made, but more importantly, it reinforces our commitment to creating a firm where opportunity and diverse perspectives continue to guide who we become." The recognition comes as the accounting profession continues to examine what helps women build lasting careers and advance into leadership. According to the 2026 Accounting MOVE Project, women represent 55% of employees at participating firms and at least half of professionals at every level from associate through director. Representation falls at the highest levels, however, with women accounting for 42% of partners and principals and 41% of management committee members. At Clark Nuber, women's representation in senior leadership reflects a culture that invests in women throughout their careers and provides individualized career and business development support and flexibility as their needs and priorities change. That culture is strengthened by colleagues across the firm, including men who actively support, advocate for and champion the women they work alongside. Together, that shared commitment helps create an environment where everyone can thrive. "These numbers matter because they reflect who has a voice in shaping our firm," said Sarah Petrone, Chief Human Resources Officer at Clark Nuber. "We want talented people to see a path to building meaningful, long-term careers here. That means creating opportunities to grow, lead and contribute while recognizing that what individuals need from their workplace can change throughout their careers." This year's Accounting MOVE Project places particular emphasis on caregiving and its potential impact on career progression. Sixty-five percent of participating firms reported seeing caregiving influence career progression during the past year, while 47% had seen employees defer or slow promotion or partnership and the same percentage had seen employees decline leadership opportunities. The findings point to an important distinction between helping employees remain in the workforce and ensuring they continue to have opportunities to advance. While every participating firm offers remote or hybrid work and 94% offer flexible scheduling, only 24% have a formal, documented alternative pathway to partnership. Clark Nuber's recognition as a Best Firm for Women considers both representation and the practices that support advancement. The Accounting MOVE Project highlighted the firm's individualized career and business development support and flexibility, as well as its consistently strong representation of women in leadership. The annual Accounting MOVE Project has measured and supported the advancement of women at accounting and consulting firms since 2010. Its MOVE methodology examines four factors considered essential to women's career success: Money, Opportunity, Vital Supports and Entrepreneurship.
