BDO USA

The Internal Revenue Service is getting set to unveil its proposed regulations for the reporting of unrelated business income for tax-exempt organizations.

BDO USA LLP has united several of its technology consulting practices under a new BDO Digital business.

BDO adds Biegel Waller; Brown Edwards expands in Virginia; Prager Metis combines with Shine & Company; Hoffman Eells merges with Abbott, Frenyea & Russell; and Mariner Wealth Advisors acquires the tax practices of David G. Miller & Associates and G.M. Bremer & Associates.

The partnership goes beyond typical value-added resellers, with BDO providing the advisory and consultation piece, while leveraging Acumatica’s more than 350 resellers to implement the software when needed.

The Internal Revenue Service’s proposed regulations on the classification of transactions involving digital content could mean some unexpected tax bills for some publishers, especially those based abroad who sell copyrighted articles to U.S. readers.

BDO USA appoints first female board chair; the SEC names two Deputy Chief Accountants; and more personnel news.

The firm saw year-over-year growth of 10.1 percent, up from 8.3 percent growth in 2018.

Not as many companies are planning to increase employee wages as a result, according to a new survey by BDO USA. Instead more companies are planning to do stock buybacks, increase corporate dividends and pursue mergers and acquisitions.

BDO USA, RSM US, Mazars and others announced new partner classes; and other news from across the profession.

The Top 7 Firm will add the Seattle-based Regional Leader in November.
