The BDO Germany Alliance offers its members not only access to the expertise of BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft ("BDO") and its wide range of services, but also to the services of the globally operating international BDO network of independent member firms (www.bdo.global), thus providing its members with the opportunity to offer their clients services not only throughout Germany, but also worldwide. BDO Germany Alliance members also benefit from the wide range of training and continuing education opportunities offered by BDO and its global organisation.
BDO is one of the leading companies in Germany for Advisory, Audit & Assurance und Tax & Legal. With 28 locations in Germany, around 3,000 employees service companies of all sizes, corporate forms and industries from both the private and the public sector.

BDO, in turn, is a member of BDO International Limited, a UK company with limited margin requirements, and is part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. BDO is the brand name of the BDO network and of each of the BDO member firms.
