I know that law is a special case. Once you get enough experience you can join a law firm as an associate. Once you do well enough, you can become a partner and you own part of the firm and share in the profits. AFAIK with accouting becoming a partner is much harder. It's essentially like buying a business. You either have to know the owners or repond to an add looking for new partners. You would never become a partner just for doing a good job as an employee. If you were to start your own accouting firm that would be another story.
