BSGM has been in business since 1954, and our involvement with the electric industry dates nearly as long. As the country was coming out of the post war stage, and rural electrification was in full swing, the founders of our firm began working in this area.

Rural electrification, like many businesses, has come a long way since then. We have stayed committed to maintaining our knowledge in this industry to enable us to serve multiple clients from coast to coast.

The electric industry is vitally important to our organization, and we have dedicated vast resources to ensure it gets the attention it deserves. Ongoing, in-house training seminars coupled with annual external continuing education classes ensure our personnel are up to date on the latest developments impacting this industry. We have identified a large number of both partners and supporting staff to focus in this area to enable us to staff our engagements with qualified personnel.

Electric utilities have diversified into many other business lines in recent years. This has raised the complexity level related to multiple entities, increased tax situations, and other issues. As discussed at our income tax webpage, we identified the need for a utility tax and accounting department years ago to address these and other situations.

BSGM, along with several other firms, has created an alliance called Telergee. This alliance was formed to provide outside assistance if complex matters arise requiring additional expertise.

If you desire references or other information about our firm’s involvement in this area, please contact our office.
