Michael Cunningham

Manager, Risk Advisory Services @BDO Canada

Ottawa, ON, CA

The best reason to choose BDO isn’t our service offerings, though they are among the most extensive in our industry. It isn’t our resources, though they are among the broadest in the world. It isn’t that we possess experience working with virtually every business sector in Canada, or that we offer the highest standards of technical excellence, though we do. Ultimately, the best reason to choose BDO comes down to the relationships we build with our clients and communities. Because at the end of the day, ours is a business of people working with, for, and in the service of others. And when you think about it that way, client service becomes more than just client service; it becomes a firm-wide dedication to helping the people we serve succeed – whatever they need, wherever they are, however we can. BDO’s vision is to be the best professional services firm in the mid-market. By investing deeply in relationships, we do our best to help our employees, clients, and communities thrive. We are committed to cultivating a workplace that encourages and supports inclusion and diversity. As part of this commitment, the firm has a Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer. BDO believes every employee should have the opportunity to participate and succeed. Our values – embodied by our professionals and the work we do – guide us from day-to-day, and define how we go about achieving our purpose. They allow us to build deeper relationships with our clients and to maintain an inclusive working environment that promotes collaboration and teamwork.
