Market position


BDO is unlike other accounting organisations. We’re different because we have the flexible personal characteristics of a local firm, together with the specific expertise, world wide network and strength of the large scale global players. BDO challenges the market model to provide a distinctively different option for clients: an option that is without equal.

BDO’s guiding principle of internal collaboration is upheld by a common methodology and unified service delivery. BDO Member Firms are dedicated to effective knowledge sharing, and always keep ahead of industry developments in order to give clients the best possible advice trans-nationally.

Background


BDO International was founded in Europe in 1963, and the current world wide structure of the network was put in place in 1988. At BDO there are clear objectives as to the structures and terminology relating to the BDO International network and its Member Firms. All BDO Member Firm names are required to contain the BDO acronym followed by a local name, unless prohibited by local laws or regulations.
