Yes. We do not release the names of participating firms publicly, nor any data from individual employers. Data submitted by all participants will be averaged, and then presented as a whole in the executive report. Confidential snapshots for for those that choose to upgrade show individual firm data as compared to the overall aggregate information and is released only to the employer. Those firms whose practices merit a place on the Best Firms for Women or Best Firms for Equity Leadership lists will be contacted prior to the release of that information so that we may confirm, clarify, or correct quotes and facts attributed to your firm.
If your firm's practices merit mention in the executive report, we will fact check these references with your contact person for accuracy before going to print. If your firm decides it does not wish to be identified in the report, your firm's name will not be published.
Our philosophy is to 'celebrate in public, coach in private.' We believe this is the best way to achieve our mission of equipping accounting firms with the information, advice and tools needed to advance women, people of color, and other under-represented groups for greater success.
This isn’t your average badge of honor. It’s a megaphone that amplifies your firm’s innovation and leadership.
- Talent Magnet: Attract the best with a reputation that speaks for itself.
- Competitive Edge: Stand out as a leader in an industry begging for boldness.
- Internal Firepower: Recognition boosts morale and sparks pride in your team.
This isn’t just a trophy. It’s proof that your firm walks the talk.
To win, a firm must have BOTH a proportionate number of women at most or all levels of management AND proven success with the MOVE factors. An employer cannot win by having a rich array of programs but few women in leadership. We believe that if an employer’s MOVE factors are effective, it will have a healthy and growing proportion of women in its leadership pipeline.

The MOVE Project Scorecard is offered as a key resource for firms seeking a deeper, more precise understanding of their progress in diversity, inclusion, and leadership development. While the survey report provides useful insights across the board, the Scorecard goes further by delivering firm-specific analysis.
The Scorecard bridges the gap between strategic intent and measurable outcomes, offering your firm a roadmap to create lasting change. It aligns actionable insights with your goals, ensuring that your efforts to create an inclusive firm culture are not just initiatives, but a competitive advantage.
Winning the retention game isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating an environment where people, clients, and the firm thrive and grow. MOVE uncovers the link between belonging and business success, showing you how to build a culture talent won’t want to leave.
The result? Retention that works, breakthroughs that matter, and a workplace people fight to stay in.
