BPM LLP, a Top 50 Firm based in San Francisco, has created an international network of independent firms that it's calling BPM Global Ltd.

The firm, formerly known as Burr Pilger Mayer, launched the network Monday with its first network member firm, Enspira Financial, with offices in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. Enspira offers accounting, audit, tax and consulting services to clients in different industry sectors, including construction, professional services, not-for-profits, financial licensees and foreign subsidiaries. Enspira will remain a separate entity but will operate under the BPM Global Network brand.

"By creating this network, we're redefining our global brand identity," said BPM Global CEO Jim Wallace in a statement Monday. "Enspira's cultural alignment and commitment to people mirrors that of BPM, our founding member. We could not be more thrilled to welcome Enspira as our first network member."

BPM and Enspira are also members of Allinial Global, an association of legally independent accounting and consulting firms whose members collaborate to bring their clients best-in-class solutions. Both BPM and Enspira plan to continue their membership in Allinial Global, where Wallace is currently global executive committee board chair. The new president and CEO of the AICPA & CIMA, Mark Koziel, was formerly president and CEO of Allinial Global.

"We are honored to join the BPM Global Network as its first member," said Enspira CEO Sook Smith in a statement. "Through our membership of BPM Global Ltd, we're excited to provide our clients with augmented international support while expanding our global brand."
