Colleagues describe him as "Without hesitation, I give Joe Middleton my highest recommendation. I had the pleasure of working with Joe at BDO Seidman and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to witness his professionalism and dedication to the tax profession. Joe demonstrated time and time again that he gets the job done right and on time. I witnessed his approach from the inside. He is an unparalleled task master. At the outset of each engagement, he breaks the project down into steps, delegates effectively, and makes his expectations clear to all employees. Instead of avoiding potential issues, he addresses them head on at the beginning of the project, allowing deadlines to be met on time with all parties on the same page throughout. Joe has a vast technical knowledge and a commitment to staying on top of law changes. Joe sheds light on topics that leave other people scratching their heads, and other partners at BDO Seidman often asked him to explain tax rules. At continuing education events and monthly meetings Joe consistently demonstrated this knowledge. He often drew on his experience to create examples to reinforce other employees’ technical knowledge, illustrate ambiguities in the rules, and identify planning opportunities for clients. Probably the most impressive acknowledgement of Joe’s expertise came at a national training I attended in Houston. I introduced myself to a partner from another BDO location who is widely thought to be the one of the smartest BDO partners in the entire nation. As soon as he heard that I worked at the Boston office, he immediately brought up how “sharp” he thought Joe was. Lastly, Joe brings the qualities you want from every person you work with - qualities that can’t be taught. He is the definition of a “good guy.” He is assertive while still being respectful. He can communicate difficult concepts in a concise, organized, and understandable way. He is very patient and enjoys teaching employees. He is family oriented and active in his community. He appreciates and rewards hard work, and he is always willing to help. Everything he does is deliberate because he cares when other people don’t. I can’t say enough about Joe. I hope anyone reading this gets the pleasure of working with him in the future."
