Core Values: CRICKETS

BPM’s core values influence what we do, why we do it, and how we do it. They have become the beliefs that define and inspire our operating performance.

Community: Meet our responsibilities to the communities where we live, work and play.
Respect: Value each other, the work we do and everyone we serve.
Integrity: Be fair and accurate, honoring commitments and doing what is right.
Creativity: Encourage initiative, imagination and originality.
Knowledge: Have the technical knowledge to serve our clients.
Excellence: Strive for excellence and quality in all that we do.
Teamwork: Create value by working and innovating together, within and across our business.
Success: Achieve profits and growth to make our values and objectives possible.

A community of respect & giving back

Central to what BPM stands for is a strong commitment to improving our community. Each year, BPM staffers lead Because People Matter Day, or BPM Day. Activities on BPM Days have ranged from painting, cleaning and maintenance to habitat restoration and building sets for a local community theater. Instead of throwing a party to mark a company anniversary, the firm took a strong role in the San Francisco Food Bank's campaign for a new warehouse and raised a total of $250,000 on top of the firm's sweat equity in the project.

Committed to happy

We aren't just a bunch of boring CPAs: we are fun, motivated people. Perennially ranked as one of the best places to work, BPM employees are happy people. In the middle of tax season, we invite employees, clients, family, and friends to take a break and enjoy our Irish Coffee Gala. On the first Friday night, home game of the Giants baseball season, we host an annual fund raiser open to all employees, clients, family, and friends. This only grazes the surface of our commitment to creating a happy place; in fact, we even have a Commissioner of Fun. With so many smiling faces, it's no wonder we deliver such dynamic service.
