Burr Pilger Mayer to Acquire San Jose Accounting and Tax Operations of CBIZ

With the acquisition, BPM strengthens its already significant presence in the South Bay, where it has existing offices in San Jose and Palo Alto.

“This acquisition will enhance our ability to serve our current South Bay clients, and give us an opportunity to continue to meet the needs of CBIZ’s clients,” said Steve Mayer, president and CEO of BPM.

“The accounting and tax group in San Jose is excited to join BPM, a firm with a similar and compatible culture,” said Jim Babcock, managing director of CBIZ in San Jose. “We look forward to continuing to deliver a high level of service to our clients. Together, this will be a great fit.”

Headquartered in San Francisco, BPM is the largest California-based accounting and consulting firm. It provides a full range of services in the areas of Assurance, Corporate and International Tax, Individual Tax, Business Consulting, and Wealth Management.

CBIZ’s San Jose accounting and tax staff will move into BPM’s San Jose office – one of BPM’s six offices around the Bay Area. CBIZ will maintain its San Jose office for other services, such as employee benefits consulting and property and casualty insurance.

“The CBIZ accounting and tax team is a great group of professionals who will further expand our ability to serve clients in the San Jose area,” said Mike Spence, Partner in Charge of the BPM San Jose office.
