Experienced Professionals

Our service lines

As businesses grow, so do the challenges they face. Our Advisory team provides personalised services to our clients based on their unique needs and to meet the challenges at every stage of their life cycle. As business owners ourselves, we understand the importance of managing our client’s businesses, family and personal wealth simultaneously.

We take our time to get to know our clients really well, comparing where they are now with where they want to be, and taking a good look at how they are currently doing things so we can offer real value. One of the best bits about working for BDO is that you work with these clients from day one. This means you get to see and hear first-hand how the work we do helps our clients.

LEARN MORE ABOUT ADVISORY

"The main skill that I have learnt is that it is all about people. Whether clients or your team, you need to have the skills that allow you to relate to people from all walks of life. BDO comes to life for me through all the amazing people I meet within the network. We are a National team of passionate individuals who really care about our respective communities."

- Kylee Potae, Partner - BDO Gisborne

We have a lower professional staff to partner ratio than our major competitors, enabling more time for partners to be actively involved in the audit. BDO has a focus on the future. This can often be seen as an oxymoron for auditors as we are usually so focused on the past and historic performance. While it is important to report accurate historical performance, we believe that this can be done in a way that is future focused.

BDO’s sweet spot lies in the SME market, backing New Zealand led businesses. Utilising world class audit methodology and a pragmatic approach, our audit teams provide real value to our clients across nearly all industries in the SME and larger sectors in NZ. We service both for-profit and community focussed entities and use our global approach to provide quality services with a NZ context. Our audit teams work collaboratively across NZ.

Our approach of a local firm combined with the skills and expertise of a large and international firm. We offer the best of both worlds – the personal relationship-driven approach of a local firm combined with the skills and expertise of a large and international firm.

All the way from graduate to manager level, you’re getting exposure to both BDO’s clients and the key business issues they present.”
