Each year, the BDO Counts Awards recognize firm professionals and offices that go the extra mile for their communities. Whether through volunteerism, board service, charitable giving or mentorship, each honoree has made a transformative impact on the causes they care most about.
The awards are presented as part of our social impact program, BDO Counts, and honor recipients for their efforts across the firm’s four cause areas: Children & Youth, Education & Literacy, Human Rights, and the Environment. Award recipients are selected through a nomination process, with certain categories voted on by their colleagues. Winners receive a charitable contribution to the nonprofit of their choice, furthering their impact.
“BDO Counts is powered by the passion, generosity and commitment of our people. That’s why we created the BDO Counts Awards — to celebrate the dedicated individuals and teams serving as catalysts for positive change in their communities,” said Chad Gabriel, Social Impact Senior Director. “I’m incredibly proud of our honorees and the lasting difference they make for others.”
