Professional Services firms are unique and so are their challenges

Professional services firms are fast evolving: increased competition, regulation, increased use of technology and internationalization are all impacting the way that firms operate. Having advisers who can help you navigate these unique and varied challenges is key to your success.

The Saudi Vision 2030 aim to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil, diversify economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. Goals include reinforcing economic and investment activities, increasing non-oil industry trade between countries through goods and consumer products. This economic shift delivers both benefits and challenges for firms like yours and our professional services team, which is one of the largest dedicated to professional services firms, is committed to helping you achieve your strategic goals.

For over 25 years we have had a dedicated team at BDO Saudi advising professional services firms and we are proud of this long-standing position in the sector. Our team of auditors, tax specialists and advisers are committed to delivering unparalleled service and advice to professional services firms.
