Our Business Incentives Group (“BIG”) business has doubled in the last three years and tripled in the last six. BIG Associates have been key to our success, and they are central to our plans to continue as one of BDO’s premiere national consulting practices.
As a Tax Associate, Business Incentives Group, you will help achieve BDO’s core purpose—helping people thrive every day—by helping companies and individuals identify and claim government incentives designed to promote innovation, economic growth, and job creation in the U.S. You will also focus on credits available for companies investing in sustainability and green initiatives.
Our clients are leaders in innovation in virtually every industry, from technology, manufacturing, life sciences, and healthcare to retail, consumer products, and natural resources. As an BIG Associate, you will have the opportunity and charge to innovate as well, collaborating with BDO professionals in all of our business lines as well as with our clients’ innovation leaders, in tax, accounting, finance, and also in their engineering, software, manufacturing, scientific, medical, and other departments.
BIG’s short-term mission is to help our clients as efficiently and effectively as possible identify, document, and support on examination by tax authorities various incentives to which they are legally entitled. Our longer-term goal is to develop an understanding of them as people and of all aspects of their business so that we are well positioned as their trusted advisors, as professionals who understand both their business operations and business drivers as well as how BDO can help them realize their goals.
In pursuing this mission, we are also seeking to help our BIG Associates become trusted advisors, ensuring they have a clear sense of the importance and responsibilities of such a role, as well as the training and opportunities to fill it.
Toward that end, BIG Associates pursue opportunities to enable them to gain and improve their skills in every aspect of professional service, including technical, interpersonal, verbal, and written communication, project management, practice management, and business development.
