About Us

Our Clients. Our People. Our Purpose.

At BDO, we believe how we show up matters.

The strongest relationships are built when people show up for one another — with care, curiosity, and a commitment to helping each other grow and succeed.

That's how we work with our clients. We take the time to understand their goals, navigate complexity alongside them, and provide the clarity and confidence they need to move forward. Whether facing opportunity, uncertainty, or change, our teams are focused on helping clients achieve what matters most to them.

We bring that same commitment to our people. BDO is a place where talented professionals can grow, take on meaningful challenges, and build rewarding careers alongside colleagues who are invested in their success. By creating opportunities to learn, lead, and make an impact, we help our people achieve what matters most to them — so they can help our clients do the same.

As an ESOP company, we share in each other's success. That ownership mindset strengthens our connection to one another, our clients, and the future we are building — and growing — together.

A Model for Shared Success

In 2023, BDO USA became the first large accounting and advisory organization to establish an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP reflects a new model, innovative in our profession, to empower our people and serve our clients while also fueling quality, ongoing investment and growth for our future. A qualified retirement plan, the ESOP offers participants a stake in the firm’s success through beneficial ownership and a unique opportunity to enhance their financial well-being.

Sustainability and ESG

Our approach to sustainability is rooted in our longstanding belief that responsible business is good business. Focusing on the issues most important to our stakeholders, we build strategies and programs that drive short-term and long-term value for our people, our communities, and the environment. As we continue to integrate sustainability into our own organization, we’re also dedicated to helping our clients navigate their own unique sustainability journeys.

Inclusion

Our business prospers when everyone who helps build our culture benefits from it.  Each of our professionals brings a range of skills, perspectives and experiences to our interactions with each other, our clients, our communities, and the world at large. At BDO, our values guide our decisions and actions, ensuring that we stay committed to each other and create an inclusive environment. Through intentional connection, we aim to build a sustainably inclusive organization that benefits all our stakeholders.

Flexibility at BDO

As the needs of our people and clients have evolved, so has our flexible workplace strategy. Our approach to flexibility gives our people the power to collaborate with their teams to decide where and how they work based on their firm and client responsibilities.

Because everyone has unique needs, responsibilities and interests, flexibility at BDO is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Time spent working at a BDO office, client site, or in a remote location can vary from week to week, team to team, and engagement to engagement. We also recognize and value that working together in person deepens trusting relationships, accelerates learning, and codifies culture. We encourage our people to find the arrangements that benefit them, our clients and our colleagues.
