CPA Practice Advisor & ASWA Honors Monika Miles With "The Most Powerful Women in Accounting" Award

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 6, 2012) - Monika Miles, co-founder of Labhart Miles Consulting Group, Inc., was just named one of "The Most Powerful Women in Accounting" by CPA Practice Advisor. CPA Practice Advisor partnered with the American Society of Women Accountants (ASWA) to recognize and award the women who are making the greatest impact on the tax and accounting profession.

"I am honored to be included on such a prestigious list of successful women," said Monika Miles. "I hope I can help inspire other women to excel in the field as well, particularly women that are just beginning to enter leadership roles and find their stride in their careers."

Several studies have been performed over the past few years looking at the role of women in the accounting profession and how that role is changing the dynamic of the field. The 2011 Accounting MOVE Project Executive Report found that 40 percent of senior managers in public accounting firms were women. Combined with the fact that more than 50 percent of all newly hired CPAs and recent graduates are women, it's no surprise that so many women are looked upon as emerging leaders within the industry.

"The Most Powerful Women in Accounting" is a prestigious award highly esteemed by both the honorees and others within the accounting profession.

Monika Miles is also the Immediate Past National President of ASWA and does philanthropic work with the American Cancer Society through Labhart Miles Consulting Group, Inc.
