BPM LLP is a public accounting and advisory firm - assurance, tax, advisory, wealth management - founded in 1986, now operating across 17 U.S. offices with over 1,000 professionals. It ranks among the 50 largest firms of its kind in the country. The client roster spans technology, life sciences, real estate, financial services, and nonprofits, which means the attack surface your work protects is broad: regulated data in pharma, deal flows in financial services, IP-heavy tech environments, and donor records in the nonprofit sector.
For security professionals, the advisory side is where the interesting problems live. BPM's clients in financial services and technology face compliance-driven threat models - SOC examinations, regulatory audits, and the governance frameworks that sit underneath them. The firm's scale and vertical mix mean you're not defending a single perimeter; you're advising on risk posture across industries with different regulatory stacks and different adversaries.
Culturally, BPM is a Certified B Corp with a stated commitment to using business as a force for good. Internal signals include flexible PTO, remote work options, 14 firm holidays, and BPM University - a training program offering live classes, workshops, and seminars. The firm's tagline, "Because People Matter," and its emphasis on continuous learning suggest a professional services environment that invests in its people rather than burning them out.
