Cherry Bekaert is a 1,000+ person CPA and advisory partnership headquartered in Raleigh, NC, with deep specialization in tax, audit, M&A, and outsourced accounting for mid-market, private equity, and government contracting clients. The tech stack reveals a firm in mid-modernization: legacy accounting tools (Sage, ProSystem fx, CCH) remain dominant, but adoption of OneStream, FloQast, and Workday signals a shift toward cloud-based financial consolidation and workforce management. Finance hiring (121 open roles) dominates the department mix, with the bulk at senior and manager level—consistent with growth in client advisory delivery and internal capacity scaling.
