BDO USA

The coronavirus pandemic has introduced a number of new areas that companies need to address.

BDO USA is merging in Quantum Global Advisors LLC, a Chicago-based international insurance claim and valuation consulting practice, in a deal that’s expected to close Oct. 16.

Corporate boards of directors are dealing with new problems in financial reporting and accounting.

The biggest increase came in the advisory practice, where revenue rose 29.4 percent, followed by tax at 8.8 percent and assurance by 6.0 percent.

Accounting firms are still managing to see increases in their fees and income per partner this year, despite the economic downturn from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the latest edition of the annual Rosenberg Survey.

BDO USA is expanding in Colorado and Wyoming by adding ACM LLP, formerly known as Anton Collins Mitchell LLP, a firm based in Denver.

The Senate and House passed bipartisan legislation to help nonprofits remain financially viable during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BDO USA is adding CFO Advisors and MorganFranklin Consulting’s public sector practice; RubinBrown Advisors combines with Wealth Management Advisors; Wessel & Co. merges in Perry & Co.; and CA PA joins Hancock Askew & Co.

The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t stopping BDO USA from pursuing a constant series of M&A deals in recent years, although the latest one had to be mostly negotiated at a safe distance.

BDO USA, a Chicago-based Top 10 Firm, has added Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern, CPAs, a firm based in Las Vegas, expanding BDO’s presence in Nevada and Utah.
