As stated below, I worked with the London, England office of BDO LLP on just about a daily basis while I was with Getty Images. Through that interaction - as well as my desire to continue to pursue professional priorities in public accounting - I decided to revert back to public accounting and join the Seattle practice of BDO USA LLP. At the time, BDO - Seattle was a relatively small footprint in the Pacific Northwest market - i.e., only about ten people in its audit practice - but there were several former Deloitte colleagues that had moved over to BDO - Seattle and I had a strong working relationship with many of them. Additionally, the Seattle market had handled the credit crisis very well and continued to be a global player in aerospace, manufacturing and tech and I really enjoyed the prospect of not only growing my audit experience with BDO - Seattle but also being a major contributor in the business development of the office. If there was ever an example of a public accounting "start-up" with the backing of a global mid-tier firm, this was it. Ultimately, however - after two years with the firm - we had several significant "wins" but not enough to continue to progress my career on a path that I had envisioned when I started with the firm. I decided to part ways with BDO - Seattle and transition back into Big Four public accounting with EY LLP.

I accepted this position with Getty Images after having interviewed - from December 2009 to April 2010 - with several Seattle-based companies for similar roles that I eventually accepted with Getty Images. At the time, my motivation in leaving Deloitte was to gain industry experience and to take on an international accounting role that I felt matched up perfectly with experience to-date (see Mayr-Melnholf and Pamukbank experiences below) and what I considered to be my professional priorities and aspirations. In short, I felt as though this was a perfect opportunity that I could not have passed up. And while I truly enjoyed my time at Getty Images - and made professional and personal connections that still stand to this day (including one whom is now my wife!) - I subsequently realized that there was more that I wanted to achieve in public accounting. While I was with Getty Images, my primarily responsibilities as an international accounting was to own the day-to-day operations of several components around the world, including all global statutory audits that were audited by BDO LLP in London, England.
