Wayne Berson is letting 48 lucky guys and gals join the club, in what is one of the largest new partner classes in BDO USA’s history.
Says Wayne-o:
“We are proud to welcome the largest class of partners at BDO in more than 20 years,” said Wayne Berson, CEO of BDO USA. “Each of our new partners has directly contributed to the growth and success of our firm, exceling in their practice and driving innovative solutions to the opportunities and issues our clients face. They have demonstrated an impressive ability to lead and build relationships with clients and people at all levels within the firm.”
The class of 2019 is definitely the largest since Going Concern started keeping tabs of Bravo Delta Oscar new partners in 2010:
Here’s a closer look at this year’s class by the numbers:
- 19: The number of new partners in tax, the most of any service line, followed by 18 in assurance and 11 in advisory.
- 10: The number of new partners who are women, or 21% of the class.
- 5: The number of new partners in both New York and the Washington, DC area, the most of any location, followed by three in Dallas.
