Here’s what it takes to join the BDO team:

Strong communication skills: While technical skills are a must, strong candidates also possess the interpersonal skills necessary to work well with clients and coworkers and to communicate effectively with all levels of management. And as all great communicators know, that means knowing how to listen as well.

Strong work ethic: Take initiative. To succeed at BDO, you must be motivated and willing to pursue new opportunities. In fact, you should be excited about them.

Ability and willingness to learn: Regulations are always changing. What works in one industry won’t necessarily work in another. Strong candidates are motivated to acquire new skills, and have a desire to continually grow, build, and improve.

Relationship-building skills: BDO looks to recruit individuals who build strong networks and are able to develop relationships at all levels—in and outside of the firm.
