SVA Named 2026 BDO Alliance Award Winner for Workplace Culture

SVA is proud to announce that it has been recognized by BDO Alliance USA with a 2026 Alliance Award in the category of Workplace Culture.

The BDO Alliance Awards are presented annually to recognize Alliance firms that demonstrate outstanding business practices and notable success. For the Workplace Culture category, BDO recognized firms that showed strong employee engagement, opportunities for growth and advancement, and a people-centered culture that thrives.

Culture is intentional at SVA. It is built through shared values, meaningful investments in people, and a commitment to creating an environment where employees feel supported, connected, and empowered to grow.

A key foundation of SVA’s culture is its 31 Fundamentals. These principles guide how team members lead, collaborate, serve clients, and support one another. They are embedded into daily interactions, performance conversations, leadership development, and firmwide expectations, helping SVA’s culture remain strong and consistent as the firm continues to grow.

SVA’s commitment to its people is reflected in programs that support professional growth, well-being, community involvement, and appreciation. These include structured career pathing, leadership development opportunities, continuous learning, a Lifestyle Spending Account, Volunteer Time Off, the Community Care Fund, and SVA’s annual Spotlight Season, which celebrates employees through curated gifts that support local and minority-owned vendors, SVA clients, and employee well-being.

The recognition also reflects SVA’s continued focus on employee engagement and trust. SVA has been recognized as a Great Place To Work^© for eight consecutive years, underscoring the firm’s long-standing commitment to building a people-centered workplace where employees can do their best work.

“This recognition is a reflection of our people and the culture they help strengthen every day,” said Matt Vanderloo, CEO of SVA. “At SVA, we believe that when employees feel valued, supported, and connected to a shared purpose, they are able to grow, serve our clients well, and make a meaningful impact in our communities.”

SVA is honored to be recognized by BDO Alliance USA and remains committed to fostering a workplace culture where people grow, contribute, and stay deeply connected to the firm, one another, and the communities they serve.
