We’re celebrating International Women’s Day 2020 by recognizing some of the women who make our Top 50 accounting firm an amazing place to work, grow and lead.

BPM provides meaningful, comprehensive financial and business counsel. We are experts in accounting, tax, and finance, and our people are distinguished by their knowledge, discipline, and unremitting commitment to the success of clients.
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.
BPM delivers the resources, expertise, and global capability of a Big Four accounting firm together with the responsiveness and accessibility of a local partner. We are members of the Leading Edge Alliance, a far-reaching international association of independent firms across 90 countries. Our International Tax team is one of the largest on the West Coast, routinely dealing with client concerns around the globe.
Our firm's dedicated professionals take pride in bringing the can-do, practical spirit of entrepreneurial vision to all of their activities. We've been recognized for excellence in all aspects of our business through awards such as Best Places to Work, the Excellence in Business Award, the On the Edge Innovation Award, and Top Corporate Philanthropist.
BPM's unique people-centered culture attracts the brightest and most forward-thinking accounting professionals. From taxes and assurance to business consulting and wealth management, we deliver creative, proactive services in a cost-effective manner to help our clients achieve their distinct business and financial goals.
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.
At BPM, 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.

The culture at BPM encourages innovation, team work, and community involvement. BPM 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.

I have been working at BPM full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
BPM truly has a positive inclusive environment where I see people bring out the best in each other every day. There's a reason this company received a "Best Place to Work" accolade 14 years running along with "Best CPA Firm for Women" recognition. BPM also provided the best onboarding experience I think I've ever had. I've been given all the professional resources and support I need to succeed.
Cons
This is a great company to work for - no cons
Advice to Management
Thanks for creating a welcoming workplace and for all the perks -- including team activities and time off for employees to give back to the community.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at BPM (San Francisco, CA) in June 2019.
Interview
The HR initially contacted me within 3-4 days after applying and set up a phone interview with a manager. Onsite interview with partner/ senior manager/ manager was set 3 weeks later. Interview went well.
