McChrystal Group had a relationship with BDO USA prior to BDO Capital guiding us through our ESOP journey. BDO Capital provided outstanding professional service going above and beyond professional standards. They far exceeded our expectations and were there for us every step of the way. Their attention to detail was outstanding and they guided us through all decisions, and we always believed they had our best interests at heart. Their work ethic was excellent, and they were always available for us regardless of the time of day. If your company is considering an ESOP I would highly recommend BDO Capital to shepherd you though the journey.
