Theresa Drew

Theresa Drew is the only female managing partner of a Big Four accounting firm in San Diego -- and one of only a handful in the nation.

"As a woman in the workplace, balancing the demands of career and family is definitely my biggest challenge," said Drew.

Deloitte has a reputation for providing innovative human resources programs designed to help women excel in their careers by offering a wide range of services, such as mentoring and flexible work schedules. All Deloitte employees, as well as the firm's clients, benefit from programs such as the Women's Initiative and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, said Drew.

Deloitte was named one of the best companies to work for in San Diego. With a local staff of 250, it is the largest accounting firm in the county. The firm's four subsidiaries provide audit, tax, consulting and financial advisory services.
