BDO USA partners with McBride Shopa

BDO USA LLP, a professional service organization, is expanding its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region by adding four partners from McBride Shopa & Co. and their respective professional and support staff. Founded in 1978, McBride Shopa maintains offices in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach. The firm, which brings 40 total staff to BDO, had been a member of the BDO Seidman Alliance since 2000.

“The addition of the partners, professionals and staff formerly with McBride Shopa adds the important Delaware market to BDO’s existing presence in the Philadelphia and the greater Washington, D.C. area. We are excited about the many growth opportunities that this combination will bring to our clients and our future clients,” said Jack Weisbaum, CEO of BDO USA.

“Through our Seidman Alliance relationship, we have a history of collaboration on client work and business development with these new partners and staff. McBride Shopa’s extensive experience in government and nonprofits will further strengthen our existing practice in the Mid-Atlantic region.”

Tom Shopa, partner and former managing director of McBride Shopa, said the two practices are uniquely compatible philosophically. “With strong relationships in the business, government and nonprofit communities, our firm has played an integral part in the growth of the Delaware Valley region over the years. By combining with BDO, we will build on that tradition by bringing our clients a wider array of services, expanded geographic coverage, extensive industry experience and additional resources.”
