OP, not trying to shill the CPA route, but the attached list will show the bigger CPA firms included.  Most accounting graduates are now women, and with a shortage of candidates to do audit/consulting/compliance, they are making the effort to attract and retain them.  Plus, all of them have consulting arms where you can start if there is a match.  But like others have mentioned, try the alumni career center or your LinkedIn contacts.  One of the reasons we went to a well-ranked school was the networking potential.

I worked for one of the consulting firms included in this list, for about 60 hours a week on average. At some point, after I had to work through the entire long weekend till 11 p.m. every day, my husband got so sick of my schedule and told me that he is going to find a new mother for our kids. And yes, this firm has been on the list of "The Working Mother 100 Best Companies" for years. How pathetic![/quote]

Same here - I worked for one of the Big 4 accounting firms that's been on the list for years.  It was SO not family friendly.  I tried part time for a few months and got slammed on my reviews (totally retaliatory as I ended up not really working part time so my "schedule" had no impact).  And the company got props for having day care.  Except it was some part time care place in Boston.  Not too helpful if you are in say, Washington, or any place other than Boston.[/quote]
