SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 2024 – BPM LLP, one of the 35 largest public accounting and advisory firms in the country, announced a strategic alliance with AssurX, Inc., a renowned provider of regulatory compliance software for the energy and utility sector, and quality management system (QMS) software for manufacturing industries.

Together, they are poised to offer innovative solutions that cater to the to address the growing needs of clients for cybersecurity management and compliance in the utility space.
The AssurX ECOS helps energy and utility companies manage operations, identify risk and demonstrate compliance across all critical operations through automated workflow processes that connect compliance and risk data. BPM will help AssurX’s clients think through the broader compliance planning that will drive inclusion in their quality management program.
“It’s a very natural fit for us because we have some clients that fall under those same requirements,” says Joshua Schmidt, Partner in BPM’s Advisory practice. “This is a way for them to get a net benefit from reducing their overhead or their manual efforts. But there is very little to no conflict of interest because AssurX exists purely within the compliance space where they are helping their clients automate and improve processes that they need to do under compliance requirements.”
Schmidt notes that both companies are highly selective in their choice of partnerships. “We’ve done our due diligence, and we both think that this is a strong offering that will benefit our client bases.”
The collaboration underscores BPM LLP’s commitment to providing unparalleled support to clients in their quest for operational excellence and regulatory adherence within the energy and utility sector.
