Parents today face complex challenges that highlight the need for adaptable schedules, robust benefits, and supportive leaders and teams in the workplace. At BDO, we are proud of our history of supporting working parents and are honored to be once again recognized by Seramount.

BDO USA Named to Seramount’s 2024 100 Best Companies List
CHICAGO, AUGUST 14, 2024 – BDO USA, one of the nation’s leading accounting and advisory firms, has been named by Seramount as one of the 2024 100 Best Companies for working parents for the 14th consecutive year. The firm is recognized among organizations that continue to set the standard of excellence in workplace culture by providing inclusive benefits for families.
For more than a decade, BDO has been committed to a flexible workplace, allowing professionals to collaborate with their teams to prioritize the outcomes of work versus where or when it is performed. Flexibility – along with other important parental benefits ranging from infertility coverage to gender-neutral leave policies to subsidized back-up childcare – creates an environment conducive for working parents that, in turn, strengthens firm culture overall.
Our 100 Best Companies have been setting the standard on what is considered an inclusive workplace for parents and caregivers for over 40 years,” said Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount. “Thanks to their dedication, benefits that were considered progressive are now considered the norm, like offering bereavement leave after a miscarriage. The mental welfare of employees continues to be a priority, and we are thrilled to see almost 100% of companies offering support in this area.
As an accompaniment to this recognition, BDO will soon be announcing its 2024 Working Parents of the Year, acknowledging two professionals who embody the firm’s core purpose and values.
Methodology
The 2024 Seramount 100 Best Companies application includes more than 200 questions related to leave policies, benefits, childcare, advancement programs, flexibility and more. It surveys the availability and usage of these programs, as well as the accountability of the many managers who oversee them. The names of applicants that do not make the list are kept confidential. Company profiles and data come from submitted applications and reflect 2023 data.
