This article, from the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, says that more and more women have taken Accounting positions within KPMG in the past few years.

Quoting a piece from the article:

What's responsible for those trends? Anecdotally at least, flagrant chauvinism is very much the exception to the rule. The task of answering this question puts KPMG among a growing number of accounting companies contemplating the next phase of dismantling the glass ceiling — in no small part because women now outnumber men entering the field. Certainly overt and mind-boggling sexual discrimination is alive and well in plenty of offices across the country. But in plenty of other offices, where messages of diversity and inclusion have finally been soaked up by the leadership — because they believe in it, or because they fear lawsuits — gender remains a significant issue nonetheless, albeit subtler and harder to pinpoint.

The article goes on to say that Accounting profession has been going through some changes in the past couple of decades and that women are now comfortable doing Accounting work, compared to previous generations.

Further down in the article, and I don't exactly understand why it was included in the published piece:

So it was that Lorna and the rest of the women in the large conference room soon paired off, looked each other in the eye and proceeded to brag. Peggy Klaus, a communication and leadership coach, had been brought in to teach the skill of "tooting your own horn without blowing it."

In minutelong spurts, the women attempted to brag about favorite vacations, things they're proud of, things they're proud of at work, an adventurous thing they've done, and so on. The idea, of course, is that women learn from an early age that boastfulness is inappropriate — a lesson that men don't always catch.

They say that women are not into expressing accomplishments, and being boastful... That's because that is a built in quality of boys and men... Women should not be nurtured on that quality because it is not built-in to them. God didn't make women to have those qualities for a reason. Women are there to support the man and his accomplishments which are of a higher significance. Women are a support for men, both by maintaining a home, and by following him, not the other way around.

How did women start to outnumber men in fiends where men were dominant? By lowering standards, and in this case I think it is from computerization to the point where an elementary school kid could almost run accounting software like AccPac, Intuit QuickBooks, etc... Just point, click, and you're done.

But compared to men doing the same task, how many women will be as productive, because some women tend to be more talkative with their co-workers, and will tend to talk more about shopping and take more time for self-grooming than actually process customer information.
