BPM LLP, one of the 35 largest public accounting and advisory firms in the United States, has acquired select human resources technology assets from EL-ITE Consulting, a specialized UKG implementation and training provider. The transaction expands BPM’s HR technology advisory capabilities and strengthens its ability to help organizations implement, manage, and optimize workforce management, payroll, and human resources systems.
As part of the acquisition, BPM has also hired three experienced UKG implementation professionals from EL-ITE Consulting. The additions will support the continued expansion of the firm’s HR and People Advisory practice, particularly in areas involving system configuration, implementation, employee training, and ongoing technology support.
EL-ITE Consulting has established a strong presence within the UKG technology ecosystem, supporting more than half of UKG’s channel partners over the past four years. Its professionals have developed specialized expertise in helping organizations deploy HR technology platforms and improve adoption among employees and administrators.
The acquisition builds on BPM’s existing investment in HR technology consulting and managed services. The firm currently supports organizations using iSolved, particularly small and midsize businesses, as well as UKG Ready for clients with more complex operational requirements.
By adding EL-ITE Consulting’s specialized capabilities, BPM aims to provide a more comprehensive range of services covering the entire HR technology lifecycle.
These services include evaluating available software platforms, selecting appropriate solutions, configuring systems, managing implementation projects, training users, and providing ongoing administration and support.
Organizations adopting new HR systems often face challenges involving data migration, payroll configuration, workflow automation, regulatory requirements, and employee adoption. These challenges can become increasingly complex as businesses expand their workforces, enter new markets, or integrate additional operations.
BPM’s expanded capabilities are intended to help clients address these requirements through a single advisory relationship rather than coordinating multiple technology vendors and implementation partners.
The firm will be able to recommend solutions based on a client’s size, operational complexity, and specific workforce requirements while providing implementation and long-term management services through its existing platform.
This integrated approach is designed to simplify HR technology modernization and improve the return organizations receive from their software investments.
The addition of three UKG specialists also strengthens BPM’s ability to deliver hands-on support during implementation projects. Their experience in system configuration, deployment, and training will complement the firm’s broader HR operations expertise.
For BPM, the transaction represents another step in expanding its technology-enabled advisory services beyond traditional accounting and tax offerings.
The firm serves clients across industries including financial and professional services, life sciences, technology, real estate, nonprofit organizations, consumer businesses, and agribusiness.
Its advisory services help organizations address operational challenges involving business expansion, financial management, workforce development, and technology adoption.
BPM has also been recognized among Inside Public Accounting’s 100 Fastest-Growing Firms and operates as a Certified B Corporation.
The acquisition reflects growing demand for professional services firms capable of combining business consulting expertise with specialized technology implementation capabilities.
As employers increasingly rely on integrated HR and payroll systems to manage operations, technology selection and implementation have become important components of broader organizational strategy.
BPM intends to use the acquired assets and additional personnel to strengthen its position as a provider of HR technology advisory, implementation, and managed services.
The expanded offering will allow the firm to support clients from initial platform evaluation through deployment, training, and ongoing system optimization.
