Our Dedicated Team

BKC’s dedicated team of employee benefit plan auditors stay current in this highly technical practice area.  They are dedicated to monitoring proposed regulations and will assist you in remaining compliant now and in the future.  

At BKC, we offer superior cost/benefit with partner-level involvement.  BKC was founded in 1992 to provide solid accounting, tax and business consulting with superior client service.  Having worked in “big accounting firm” environments, we sought to establish a company that had paralleled technical capabilities, but with a deeper commitment to building long-term client relationships.  BKC provides all of these critical qualities clients require for success.

At BKC our goal is to continue to enhance our quality initiatives within our employee benefit plan audit practice to deliver the highest quality audit services possible. We encourage our clients to view BKC as a trusted resource and strategic partner to be utilized throughout the year.
