Because our business is global but our hearts (and many of our clients) are Texan, BGEM+D is proud to be engaged leaders in the accounting community, locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. Each of our shareholders are members of the organizations below, participating in and drawing from a rich association with our colleagues.

IGAF Polaris does not and cannot offer any professional services to clients.
Each independent member of IGAF Polaris is a separate firm and an independent legal entity. IGAF Polaris is not a partnership and independent member firms are not acting as agents of IGAF Polaris or other independent member firms.
IGAF Polaris is among the strongest associations of independent accounting firms in the world, comprised of over 350 highly successful independent public accounting firms in over 85 countries. Formed from a merger in 2011, IGAF Polaris provides its independent member firms with tools and resources to help them furnish superior accounting, auditing, tax and management services to clients around the globe. Through IGAF Polaris, independent member firms offer the strength and capabilities of a large, worldwide organization with technical depth and geographic reach impossible for a local firm alone.
