From a single room on Manhattan’s Lower East Side … to membership in a global network across more than 150 countries. From a 22-year old founder … to thousands of professionals. From an early focus on furniture manufacturers … to a wide range of industry-specific practices and more than 300 publicly traded clients in the U.S. alone.

 

When M. L. Seidman founded Seidman & Seidman in 1910, there were just over 2,000 accountants in the entire United States. Armed with an unfailing commitment to exceptional client service, the firm quickly expanded both its services and geographic reach across the country. In the early 1960’s, alliances were created with like-minded firms in Canada and throughout Europe, and by the 1980’s the global network had been established – and the firm was renamed BDO Seidman.

 

Today, BDO’s entrepreneurial spirit lives on, and the firm continues its history of growth as it expands across the country. Yet, no matter how large we become, we will continue to remain united under a common purpose: helping people thrive, every day.

Exceptional client service, without exception.
There are many ways to answer the question, “Why BDO?”

They could tell you about their 60+ offices across the U.S. or their 1,401 offices worldwide. They could mention their comprehensive service offerings, their experience across virtually every major industry, or the wide range of clients they serve, from regional businesses to global leaders.

But what truly sets BDO apart is their commitment to exceeding expectations on every engagement, big or small, for every client, local or multinational. It’s about more than their depth of experience or technical excellence, more than their open, communicative culture. It’s about a firm-wide dedication to delivering service to every single client that is, without exception, exceptional.

Exceptional client service begins with exceptional people committed to exceptional endeavors. At BDO, they believe that their business, at its core, isn’t about clients won or dollars accounted for. It’s about helping people. It’s about creating a better culture for our employees, in and out of the office. It’s about giving back to their communities, and doing their part to preserve the environment.
