In a nod to International Women’s Day in March we are highlighting those traditional Male Dominated Careers where women are excelling in each week this month
This week we focus on Accounting and Finance Careers
A career in accounts can be
extremely rewarding. It is a good secure profession that is always in high
demand and has lots of potential to offer inspiring and interesting options at
every level for women. In the accounting field in Ireland female participation in
the profession has strengthened with recent studies showing a 50/50 split. However
one of the primary challenges that women face in today’s accounting field is
that it is hard to get promoted and advance beyond the role of Part Qualified Accountant
or Accounts Assistant which in turn results in female accountants are often paid
less than men who qualified at the same time. A positive step in the right direction last
May was the appointment of Shauna Greely who was elected President of Chartered
Accounts Ireland – the
first female president in over 30 years in this organisation.
