Getting Started

Each person that starts with BS&P participates in a comprehensive new employee orientation program. This one-on-one training with an experienced accountant allows them to experience performing taxation and accounting engagements while becoming familiar with software and procedures.

Buddy-Up

When you first start at BS&P, you’ll have a Big Brother/Big Sister to help you get situated while you settle in and help guide you in your work.  They know what it is like when first starting at BS&P so if you have questions, feel free to ask away!

Keep it (Business) Casual

BS&P has a year round business casual dress code.   This creates a comfortable environment conducive to productivity. The firm also offers ‘Jeans Days’ throughout the year to help raise money for charities that are near and dear to our staff. You can also count on having a ’Jeans Day’ every Friday during tax season.
