We believe that who you are as a person makes you uniquely capable of contributing in a way no one else can. Every day we strive to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, valued, seen and heard.
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) is part of our company culture — from the way we support our colleagues and clients to the ways we show up for our communities.

Our long-standing initiative, Inclusion Now! (IN!) was put in place to ensure we’re holding ourselves accountable, meeting our belonging goals, and setting new goals as we grow. Our IN! Committee has been critical in helping create a safe and inclusive workplace. Members work to establish DEIB key performance indicators (KPIs) and regularly revisit them to ensure our efforts are making an impact.
To create a DEIB environment that includes our clients, colleagues, and community; where individual ideas, knowledge, and perspectives are accepted and respected. To create a safe environment for all colleagues to be heard, share their honest opinions, and feel valued; Because People Matter!
We’re always working to provide support for all minority groups represented by BPMers, including LGBTQIA+ and non-binary team members. One way we do that is by enabling colleagues to find common ground through Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs).
Our leaders work to implement and share best practices around helping women and minority groups be successful in their careers. We strive to elevate diverse groups of people — women, LGBTQ, minorities and under-represented groups of all ages and abilities — into leadership roles across the firm. In fact, BPM has been recognized many times over as the “Best CPA Firm for Women,” thanks to our focus on equitable opportunities and women’s leadership initiatives.
We choose to only affiliate with organizations that align with our beliefs as a firm. This year we have committed as a firm to intentionally and successfully attract and retain diverse clients, vendors, and talent. And we also actively support organizations led by women, people of color and other underrepresented groups in our communities, as well as causes that support nonprofits, schools and global relief.
We’re committed to attracting and retaining diverse talent whose rich backgrounds and perspectives inspire them to think, work and act in unique and innovative ways. And we’re always striving to find new ways to lift up every voice within our organization.
This year, we’re expanding that commitment to promote the values of DEIB not only internally, but also in our vendor and client networks.
We’re committed to attracting and retaining diverse talent whose rich backgrounds and perspectives inspire them to think, work and act in unique and innovative ways.
