Testimonials

Current employees comment on their experiences with BDO Seidman.

"What makes BDO unique is the general office attitude and approachability of the people. During my internship, I can honestly say that I was just as comfortable talking with the firm’s partners and managers as I was with my fellow interns. When you can achieve that kind of environment, you know you have something special."

Assurance Associate, New York

"BDO has helped me grow as a professional and as a person by exposing me to many different technical areas. BDO let me choose the direction for my career and has supported me along that path. I would not have had the same experience at other firms."
Jason Rhodes
Tax Manager, Detroit
Michigan State University


"A challenging career is one thing, but BDO has been more than a career—it has been an extension of my family. I have shared so many wonderful memories and have developed relationships for a lifetime."

"Working at BDO has not only provided a wealth of experience and knowledge, but has also given me an opportunity to build friendships. I feel fortunate that I can look forward to spending time with my co-workers, even after spending a day at the office with them."

Senior Associate, Houston
Baylor University


"BDO is a truly different place to work. Every day, I am exposed to new challenges and have the opportunity to really make a difference to my clients and their businesses. This week, I advised a client on potential sales tax issues in Korea, considered a potential strategic acquisition with another, received an update on the technology public relations industry with a third, and tasted a new sandwich with a fourth. I also wrote a thought leadership article, took a training course to enhance my leadership skills, discussed an excellent performance with a member of my team and met with colleagues from the UK firm. Oh, and that all ‘fit’ around all of the things I had planned this week outside of work too! The continual learning experience I get from working with a group of outstanding professionals, the infinite variety in the work that I do, and the opportunities for progression are what make BDO Seidman a really exciting organization to be part of."

"BDO has been a great choice for my career. I joined BDO because of the people I met during recruiting on campus, and because I felt BDO would offer the most opportunities for advancement and challenges. My five years at BDO have exceeded my expectations. Not only do I enjoy my client service relationships and the technical aspects of an audit, but the firm has also allowed me to be very active in national recruiting and national training course development and facilitation. If you are vocal about the career you are looking for, you can get it at BDO."

"I knew that BDO was a good fit for me on my first day! My coworkers all presented a positive attitude and made me feel like I was welcomed into the BDO family. The partners are very personable and are available to talk. At BDO they truly care about their employees."

"As a recently hired college graduate, my experience with BDO has been outstanding. The Charlotte office in particular is the best explanation for that experience. Whether it is training in New York City, preparing for important client meetings, or kickball on Sundays, the office always fosters a professionally rewarding environment. It would be very difficult to find a firm anywhere else that offers the opportunities and work/life balance that BDO does."

"My tenure with BDO Seidman in Atlanta has been a very rewarding series of experiences. My background and broad-based professional experiences have been well utilized. I enjoy the open and flexible environment in which we work. The opportunity to fully use my skills has been great."

"I joined BDO in 2003 as an assurance associate after interviewing with what seemed to be friendly, intelligent and down-to-Earth people. They spoke of a great workplace environment and opportunity. Today, I can honestly say that what they said held true as I love the people I work with and have seen the business world through the eyes of many industries, companies and accounting areas. Management, including the partners, has been approachable, fun and a great resource since day one."
