BPM

People & Culture

It's no accident that BPM's motto is Because People Matter. We understand that motivated and talented employees are a successful company's greatest asset. We are driven by a practical, can-do, entrepreneurial spirit, and we value our staff as individuals, including the parts of them that go beyond balance sheets and tax filings. We are committed to:

Work-life balance:   BPM believes in a workplace that allows for a balanced life, with time for family, creative pursuits and community involvement.

Valuing diversity   Attracting and retaining a diverse, inclusive workforce is vital to BPM's ongoing success. Our multicultural employees represent more than 30 different countries and speak 21 different languages.

Opportunities for growth:   Today’s young accountants will be tomorrow’s senior partners. We recruit the best accounting and finance professionals, then provide them with the training and advancement opportunities to keep them continually growing.

Fostering women’s leadership:   BPM is dedicated to ensuring that all employees have the same opportunities for professional development and achieving success regardless of gender. Three of our talented women partners have been named among “The Most Influential Women in Bay Area Business” by the San Francisco Business Times and North Bay Business Times.

A values-driven culture:   Our values include transparency, integrity and honesty. At “town hall” meetings, BPM management opens the agenda to all employees and readily fields questions – even the tough ones.

Social responsibility:   BPM contributes to humanitarian causes. We are committed to emphasizing firm-wide environmental stewardship, and the majority of our Bay Area offices have Green Business certification either completed or underway.

Our Values

At Burr Pilger Mayer, we are committed to the success of clients and view each engagement as uniquely important. Rather than impose cookie-cutter solutions, we listen to clients and respond to needs, thereby developing effective plans that address both current priorities and future goals.

As one of the largest California-based accounting and consulting firms, BPM has served the Bay Area's emerging and mid-cap businesses as well as high-net-worth individuals for the past 26 years. Our SEC practice is one of the largest in the U.S., serving public companies throughout Silicon Valley and across the nation, and over half of our shareholders have substantial Big Four experience. Our highly specialized consultants are accredited turnaround advisors, valuation analysts, forensic accountants, senior appraisers, and more.

Community: Meet our responsibilities to the communities where we live, work and play.

Respect: Value each other, the work we do and everyone we serve.

Integrity: Be fair and accurate, honoring commitments and doing what is right.

Creativity: Encourage initiative, imagination and originality.

Knowledge: Have the technical knowledge to serve our clients.

Excellence: Strive for excellence and quality in all that we do.

Teamwork: Create value by working and innovating together, within and across our business.

Success: Achieve profits and growth to make our values and objectives possible.

Our BPM values influence everything we do, from providing valuable services to clients, to valuing the diversity and creativity of our employees, to supporting the communities in which we live and work.

Join BPM's Team

The culture at BPM encourages innovation, team work, and community involvement. Burr Pilger Mayer has been awarded the Business Times “Best Places” to work in the Bay Area for six consecutive years and is dedicated to creating an environment that fosters a healthy work/life balance.

Not only is BPM a great place to work, we have been recognized by Accounting Today as one of the “Top 50 Accounting Firms in the US.” With an average growth of 20% each year this is no surprise. To encourage continuous growth, BPM established an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP), which gives employees stock in BPM and the incentive to contribute to its overall success.

Continued education and career development are key focal areas for BPM. BPM University was founded in 2009 to provide ongoing professional training to employees. Our Coaching Program provides mentors to help employees navigate their career and reach their full potential.
