Bowman & Company, LLP

The Bowman & Company tradition of Fun Friday 2017 was celebrated on April 7. The theme for this year’s festivities, a child’s birthday party, was inspired by the recent birth of Cedric to Shin (Sr. Accountant) and Jerry Liu. Party games, entertainment (provided by staff) and food were all part of this annual celebration!

Yesterday, we held our annual Fun Friday celebration over the lunch hour. This time of year is stressful for all, and FF provides a welcome, although brief, breather. The theme was Intern-In-Training and each team had to complete a variety of intern-like duties, such as paper shredding, going to the gas station, and providing a snack...all of which were timed and scored by unscrupulous judges.

We were privileged to celebrate Pam Pichi's 14,600 days of employment (40 years) at Bowman & Company last Friday night. Pam refers to Bowman as her "forever work home", and we're truly thankful it has been! The partners and staff shared stories and examples of what makes Pam the invaluable lynch pin at Bowman. The pics of the younger staff raising their hands were those who weren't even born when Pam began working at Bowman - about half the room of 50+ employees.

It’s our busiest time of year and we are all working overtime, including the paper shredders. A typical day’s shred at Bowman...

Join with us, clean out a closet and help keep someone warm this winter! We are collecting new and gently-used coats for those who are in need during this chilly season of the year. We have high expectations and hope you'll help us meet our goal of filling (at least) this donation box; as you can see, the donation box isn't even close to filled so we have plenty of room to add YOUR donation. The coat drive is being done in cooperation with Quick's Glass Service and Stockton Auto Glass in Stockton. Coats can be dropped by our office at 10100 Trinity Parkway, Suite 310 before December 16. If you have a large donation and need help getting it brought in, give us a call at 473-1040 so we can help. All coats will be donated through St. Mary's Dining Room.

Today we celebrated Dolores Lopez’ retirement after 34 years of full time employment at Bowman & Company. She managed our Accounting Services Department and was/is a reliable, trusted employee. Dolores will continue to assist when needed, but she has travel plans in the works to visit relatives in Italy. Well deserved! Thank you, Dolores!

Happy Halloween from Bowman & Company, LLP

Bowman & Company donated 50 turkeys, 120 cans of vegetables, 15 boxes of mashed potatoes, 50 boxes of stuffing, 50 cans of gravy, and 400 dinner rolls to the St. Mary’s Dining Room for the holidays. Thanks, everyone, for your help in shopping and delivery.

Happy Halloween from the Bowman Family!!

Best of Best 2015

Bowman & Company, LLP is a wonderful place to work, and we are hiring. Please message if interested. We have great benefits, and a wonderful work environment. We are looking for CPA candidates, Staff & Senior Accountants.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we inform you that our founder, Mr. Herbert Bowman, passed away at the age of 93 on Monday, August 3, 2015. Mr. Bowman was an inspirational presence in our office, and even though he "retired" a few years ago, he was in the office on a daily basis until April of this year. He had a brief illness which required convalescent care and late last week, he took a turn for the worse. As most of you know, Mr. Bowman was a true gentlem...an and it was a privilege for us (and many others) fortunate enough to know and work with him. Since 1949, when he founded the firm, he set a great example as a professional and human being. His knowledge and spirit helped him to become a trusted business advisor to many of our region's most notable businesses and families. Over the years, no one arrived at the office earlier in the morning than Herb. As our founder, he set the tone each day, and leaves a legacy for each of us to follow. Through his gentleness , patience, and old-fashioned work ethic, he mentored and touched more lives than he ever knew. To us, and many of you, he was more than just the 'Bowman' in Bowman & Company, LLP. He was a dear friend, a kind soul and an inspiration. After his retirement, he always said he was grateful that we allowed him to continue to 'hang around', but it was our blessing to continue to watch and learn by his daily example. Needless to say, we will miss him more than words can say as we strive to carry on the legacy that he left for us. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, August 17 at DeYoung Shoreline Chapel, 7676 Shoreline Drive, Stockton, CA at 3 PM, with a reception to follow at our office. See more
