BDO was highly recommended to TETER by other ESOP firms. Their invaluable assistance exceeded our most optimistic expectations. Our interaction with BDO went beyond executing an ESOP transition and BDO has become a trusted advisor and a long-term relationship for TETER. BDO acted as a “quarterback” in fostering teamwork both with TETER and with the multiple external consultants involved with making the ESOP transition a success. We feel fortunate and thankful for BDO’s capable support during this complex process.
