Berson Leads Firm to Eighth Consecutive Year of Growth with Sustainable Business Strategies

CHICAGO, Sept. 9, 2020 − BDO USA, LLP, one of the nation's leading accounting and advisory firms, today announced revenue of $1.8 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 11.3% for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2020. This is the eighth consecutive year of growth for the firm under CEO Wayne Berson’s leadership.

“As the last few months have shown us, organizational resilience has proven invaluable as the global community continues to face extraordinary challenges. The unwavering commitment to excellence, stability and longevity from Wayne and his leadership team will continue to serve our people, our clients and our communities well,” said Kelly Johnson, chair of the board of directors of BDO USA. “Our world-class workforce, dedication to exceptional client service and purposeful innovation have been instrumental in our growth and provided a solid foundation, which is especially underscored during tumultuous times.”

In fiscal year 2020, BDO expanded both service offerings and geographic reach, including the launch of a holistic collection of digital services through BDO Digital, LLC in January, and office expansions in six markets over the past 12 months. BDO achieved strong growth in FY 2020 across all business lines, led by the advisory practice, which saw an increase in revenue of 29.4%, with tax (8.8%) and assurance (6.0%) also demonstrating progress.

“We were fortunate to be in a strong position heading into the crisis and despite the uncertainty, continue to lead with empathy and purpose, while prioritizing innovation and building long-term organizational resilience,” said Wayne Berson, CEO of BDO USA. “Over the past few months, we’ve taken steps to strengthen our business and mitigate risk, which has put BDO on solid footing to navigate an unknown and unwieldy national recovery.”

Years of ongoing investments in technology and culture have positioned BDO to emerge from this period stronger. BDO’s people have embraced the processes, tools and efficiencies created from these investments to help clients address their priority business issues to persevere through this extraordinary time. Looking to the future, BDO remains committed to sustainable, long-term growth, while continuing to help its people and its communities thrive.
