If you aren't an accountant or consultant, you are a second class citizen here. - Anonymous employee BDO Employee Review

I 100% agree with your "advice:; we are and should be judged and known by how we behave not by what we say. Now, there is no doubt in periods of rapid growth infrastructure gets burdened bur we are all committed to continuing investments in our core business services. We see every CBS leader as "upper management" so I have to disagree with you on that point. As to career path, we have celebrated many career progressions of our CBS professionals and do have partners leading finance, marketing/communications and HR, so I believe we have made meaningful progress in demonstrating the respect and value of CBS contributions. By the way, your term "support services" doesn't begin to reflect the true value and place of CBS professionals, which is why you will never hear our CEO use that phrase.
