BDO Worldwide – A Global Network with Local Strength
BDO’s global story began in 1963, when visionary advisory firms from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and the United States joined forces to create a single international network of experts – the Binder Seidman International Group. Their ambition was clear: to combine knowledge, experience, and high standards of client service across borders.
After a decade of rapid growth and the inclusion of new partners, the network evolved into Binder Dijker Otte & Co. In 1988, the unified brand name BDO and its now-iconic logo were officially introduced – marking a milestone in the firm’s global development.
A Truly Global Presence
Today, BDO ranks as the world’s fifth-largest network of audit and advisory firms. We operate in 166 countries, across over 1,800 offices, and employ more than 119,000 professionals specializing in audit, tax, legal, and business advisory services.
