Congratulations to the 36 very good boys and girls who can count themselves among the flock of BDO’s chosen ones. Okay, maybe that’s a touch extravagant for a BDO partner, but that does not diminish the achievement.
This year’s class is a smidgen smaller compared to last year’s 39, but it’s still a large class since Going Concern’s been covering the promotions. There were 30 new partners in 2015, 24 in 2014, 16 in ’13, 15 in ’12, 13 in ’11, and 5 in ’10.
There are 19 assurance partners, 12 tax, two advisory and three in the national office. I count 11 women in this class, just under a third of the total. Here’s the list:
- Jason Aldridge (Washington DC – Assurance)
- Brooke Anderson (Pittsburgh – Tax)
- John Barry (Orange County – Assurance)
- Brad Bird (Chicago – National Assurance)
- Danny Castro (Fort Lauderdale – Tax)
- Craig Christie (Philadelphia – IS Assurance)
- Jason Cuda (Atlanta – Assurance)
- Anthony Diianni (Philadelphia – Assurance)

Way to go, everyone. It would be fitting if they all took a pie to the face, wouldn’t it? I think we can all agree that that should be the new BDO partner initiation.
