James Moore Named a Best CPA Firm for Equity Leadership by the Accounting MOVE Project

Gainesville, FL (Nov. 11, 2025) –James Moore & Company (James Moore) has once again been named a Best Firm for Equity Leadership by the Accounting MOVE Project. This is the seventh straight year that the company has been named to this list and one of just 11 firms selected nationwide.
“We are deeply grateful to once again be recognized by the Accounting MOVE Project,” said James Moore CEO Suzanne Forbes. “This honor reflects our steadfast dedication to advancing equity and inclusion throughout our firm. These values are essential to who we are; they strengthen our culture, enrich our client relationships and drive our continued success. We look forward to building on this momentum and setting new standards for leadership in our profession.”
The project recognized James Moore for the percentage of women in partner/principal positions and gender equality at all levels within the company. The firm was also cited for its ongoing commitment to employees. Per the organization:
“James Moore continues to impress with a partner group comprised of 50% women. Led by powerful and energetic leadership, the firm is anything but traditional, choosing employee happiness as the litmus test for success. As a reliable innovator with 288 employees and 58% women across the workforce, James Moore consistently showcases the mindset, robust support, and vibrant energy needed to cultivate and sustain an inclusive and welcoming workplace. The well-established CPA and consulting firm combines strong industry specialization with a commitment to both client service and positive workplace culture.”
Building on that foundation, reinforcing a positive work culture often comes down to the everyday details that make people feel seen and valued. Thoughtful corporate gifting can quietly strengthen morale, especially when it centers on practical, well-designed items employees actually use in their daily routines. A personalized notebook on a desk or a sleek, customized bottle carried from meeting to meeting sends a subtle but lasting message of appreciation. Platforms such as www.daytech.gifts make it easier for organizations to align these gestures with their broader culture, offering options that feel intentional rather than routine. When paired with strong leadership and a people-first mindset, these small but meaningful efforts help sustain an environment where employees remain engaged, motivated, and genuinely connected to the workplace.
The Accounting MOVE project is the only annual benchmarking project that both counts and advocates for women in the profession. To be included on this list, an employer must have at least 30% women partners and principals in the firm—recognizing that firms achieving this milestone have done so through a combination of culture, programs, initiatives and growth.
The Accounting MOVE Project is based on the MOVE methodology, developed by research partner Wilson-Taylor Associates, Inc., which investigates the factors essential to women’s career success:
M – Money: fair pay practices;
O – Opportunity: advancement and leadership development;
V – Vital supports: work-life programs that remove barriers;
E – Entrepreneurship: operating experience for managing or business ownership
