About

About Us

A global network built on local relationships

We are an international network of public accounting, tax and advisory firms, operating across 169 countries and territories with more than 90,000 people working from 860+ offices worldwide. Our global organisation is coordinated by BDO Global Coordination B.V., headquartered in Zaventem, Belgium, while each BDO member firm is an independent legal entity in its own country, part of BDO International Limited. Our network generates revenue of US$11 billion (€10 billion) as of September 2025, with total fee income including alliance firms exceeding US$16 billion. We are the fifth-largest accounting network in the world, proudly serving clients from mid-market companies to multinational corporations and Global 2000 organisations. Our unified global growth strategy combines local expertise with innovation and cutting-edge technology to provide international clients with comprehensive solutions tailored to their specific needs and organisational culture.

What we do

Exceptional client service, delivered across the world

We provide comprehensive audit and assurance, tax, and advisory services to clients throughout the world. Our vision is to be the leader for exceptional client service—not by reinventing our profession's approach, but by delivering services exceptionally well and consistently in every office, country and territory. We combine deep industry sector experience with a commitment to tailor solutions to each client's specific needs. We're agile and responsive: big enough to access the best group of experts from our national and international network, yet small enough to be responsive and innovative in tackling our clients' challenges.

Our Purpose

Global solutions. Driven to be the best.

Our vision sets out a shared ambition to achieve our core purpose: People helping people. It unifies everyone in our organisation to deliver on this purpose, setting out our ambitions for the future and serving as the bedrock of our global strategy. We believe our new ideas and innovative thinking help clients achieve their objectives and contribute to their commercial success—now and in the future. The actionable advice we provide is backed by local and regional expertise, together with global experience.

Our Values

What drives us

We focus on creating value for our clients through up-to-date ideas and valuable insights they can trust. We are a global organisation built on local relationships, delivering what we promise when clients need it. Our commitment to exceptional client service means accessible partners and senior professionals who provide in-depth industry expertise and commercially astute insights. We invest in our people, ensuring they have the environment and support to deliver exceptional service, and we maintain short lines of communication so clients always know who to talk to.

Why working with us

The most agile of the global accounting organisations

We stand apart through our combination of global scale and personal touch. Our professionals focus on creating genuine added value through local market knowledge, global industry expertise and technical skills. We invest heavily in understanding our clients, building personal relationships that allow us to anticipate needs and offer true added value. Our constant drive to meet high client expectations is in our DNA, with every BDO firm committed to consistently high-quality service delivery. We are structured to support clients with a single point of contact coordinating the technical and in-country knowledge needed for successful international expansion.

Inclusion & Diversity

Building an inclusive culture where everyone thrives

We strive to create an inclusive, diverse and empathetic culture—both inside and outside BDO. We make a concerted effort to ensure all employees feel safe, valued and free to be their most authentic selves. Our firms aim to provide flexible working environments and ensure people are offered the same opportunities to develop talent, maximise potential and achieve goals. Inclusion at BDO starts with relationships. We focus on understanding the experiences of our professionals, listening to their challenges and ideas, and putting thought into action to better support our people, clients and communities. Our inclusion groups are championed by leaders passionate about advocating for their peers, with all professionals encouraged to participate.

Sustainability

An unstoppable movement for sustainable business

Our approach to sustainability is grounded in our purpose: People helping people. In 2021, we launched the BDO Sustainability Movement and pledged to support achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, in line with the Paris Agreement. Our Sustainability Center of Excellence drives advancement across our organisation and supports clients in their sustainability journeys. We have set science-based emissions reduction targets validated by SBTi, committing to halve our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. We take a long-term view, recognising we operate in an increasingly complex world where expectations around ESG transparency and accountability continue to grow. Our role is to understand our impacts, respond effectively, and support clients to identify risks, strengthen resilience and seize opportunities.

Community & Impact

Creating positive impact in the communities we serve

Our community activities are closely linked to our purpose: People helping people. We believe in the power of community support and social responsibility, meticulously selecting projects and foundations to sponsor annually to ensure our contributions align with our core values. From charitable giving and volunteerism to nonprofit board service, we leverage the scope of our global network to pursue large-scale initiatives while supporting individual offices and employees as they devote time and energy to causes most important to their communities. We use our influence to inspire, educate and lead sustainable business practices in our markets.
