Additionally, we have an IT consulting firm, a human capital consulting and management firm and a wealth advisory firm, and we are affiliated with a staffing firm. We work with a wide variety of industries and offer many services. We have the bandwidth to help clients around the world, but we are also there with you locally, living and working in your community.
History
In 1991, Keith Barfield, Don Murphy and John Shank decided to leave a large, local firm to establish a new type of public accounting firm. The goal was to build a workplace that values character, family and life/work balance while creating a professional environment where each individual is treated with respect. Nearly 30 years later, BMSS has grown into a top three accounting firm in Alabama with 30 partners, 88 certified public accountants and approximately 225 staff across all businesses and offices. Broadly based, BMSS serves clients in the revenue range of $1 million to $50 million. The majority of the firm's clients are family-owned/operated businesses; however, we work with startups, private equity firms, smaller main street businesses, nonprofits and municipalities, and we serve one of the largest family-owned businesses in the state of Alabama. BMSS is a member of the prestigious BDO Alliance USA.
