Returning felt natural. The team is, without a doubt, one of our strongest assets, and the quality of human interaction makes the difference.
Diana Ceapraz 
Supervisor Consultant, Business Advisory
BDO Romania
Diana’s relationship with BDO is not a straight line - it’s a story of leaving, reflecting, and coming back with more clarity than before. What brought her back wasn’t just the work. It was the people, the culture, and a sense of belonging she had not found anywhere else.
A career shaped by one act of trust
Before any milestone, there was a moment. A former colleague who saw potential in Diana early on and gave her a three-month internship. That single decision set everything in motion — and Diana has never forgotten it.
Someone saw potential in me at an early stage, and that trust shaped my confidence and career direction. It’s a reminder of how impactful a single opportunity and the right support can be.
Belonging is earned through actions, not words
When Diana returned to BDO after three years away, the welcome she received said more than any policy could. She was brought back into the team with openness, with trust, and with the kind of practical support that helps someone truly settle in.
I received guidance in developing new assets for our team and continuous support for my professional growth. That combination of encouragement and trust made me feel that I truly belong here.
Delivering under pressure, together
One of Diana’s most telling examples of what BDO looks like at its best came during the ESG reporting cycle for FY 2024. A small team. Ten reports delivered in parallel. The kind of challenge that reveals who people really are when the pressure is on.
What stood out was not only the volume of work, but the collaboration and shared responsibility that allowed us to meet our deadlines while maintaining quality standards.
This is also how Diana approaches her own daily contribution, not just completing what’s assigned, but thinking about what’s next, what could go wrong, and how to make the work better for everyone.
Thinking beyond means staying curious and never stop learning. Ask questions, seek guidance, and don’t hesitate to ask for support, people are open and willing to help.
Shaping what matters, one connection at a time
For Diana, BDO’s purpose isn’t an abstract concept. It lives in the relationships she builds, the colleagues she supports, and the clients she grows with over time.
We shape what matters’ is about building strong professional connections based on trust and support and contributing to the growth of those around us. It means supporting colleagues, sharing knowledge with those at the beginning of their journey, and continuously growing into better professionals.
