What does BPM stand for? Innovation, opportunity, community, diversity, inclusivity, flexibility and so much more.
B-P-M stands for “Because People Matter,” because at our core, our people drive everything we do and how we do it.

We focus on comprehensive assurance, tax, and consulting services for our clients, and we provide our people and our community with the resources to lead meaningful and purposeful lives.

Our teams and our clients drive us to provide quality services and ignite unique insights and ideas that contribute to our continued success. Our clients come from different backgrounds and industries, which keep our people intellectually challenged every day.

Accounting Advisory Overview
:
:
BPM’s Outsourced Accounting, Analytics, and Systems Advisory group (internally referred to as the Business Enterprise Services Team or “BEST”) calibrates financial and accounting processes and systems to meet the demands of today’s competitive business environment. We are uniquely positioned to help with a wide range of tax, assurance (GAAP, international standards, etc.), and financial support services.
More than a “vendor”, we serve as an extension of our client’s business. We know that our clients challenges are unique – our goal is to understand what those challenges are, and to explore the financial and operational opportunities available in order to customize the right solutions. We leverage best-in-class, cloud-based accounting platforms (e.g., QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite and other applications) to empower accounting and financial management functions with greater control and unsurpassed quality. Clients get the benefits of an enterprise solution without having to maintain one.
