BPM (legally BPM LLP) is a privately held, full-service US accounting and advisory firm founded in 1986 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. Ranked as the 34th-largest CPA firm in the United States with reported FY2024 revenue of $242.03 million, BPM delivers audit and assurance, tax planning and compliance, advisory (including transaction advisory, corporate finance, cybersecurity, ESG, fund administration, and data analytics), outsourced and technical accounting, wealth management, and technology implementation services through an industry-specialized vertical model. The firm's technology platform, marketed as BPM Digital, integrates cloud enterprise software including Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, and isolved, supplemented by a Blockchain & Digital Assets Practice that conducts specialized engagements such as monthly stablecoin reserve audits for the Gemini Dollar (GUSD).

BPM serves a diverse client base spanning public companies, privately-held middle-market and enterprise businesses, venture-backed startups and their investors, private equity firms and portfolio companies, family offices and high net-worth individuals, regulated entities in financial services and life sciences, nonprofit organizations, and agribusiness and winery operators. Its GTM motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, executed through regional office managing partners and industry practice leaders who engage enterprise decision-makers directly, complemented by referrals from professional advisors and an international network relationship with Allinial Global (260+ firms across 70+ countries) that enables cross-border engagements.

The firm is structured as a limited liability partnership (BPM LLP) with no parent company, operating 11 owned offices across the US, Canada, and the UK. Revenue is generated through engagement-based pricing that combines fixed-fee annual compliance work (audit, tax) with higher-margin time-and-materials and solution-based advisory engagements, plus fee-based recurring wealth management revenue from assets under management and retainer arrangements. BPM has executed an active inorganic and organic expansion strategy, including the acquisitions of Gumbiner Savett (2021), Elliott CPA Group (2022), and WBM Partners (2025), alongside greenfield entries into the UK (2025), Austin (2026), and San Diego (2026), and entry into Canada via Montreal (2024).
