Global Payroll Services

Your global payroll partner 

Achieving a quality payroll service across multiple countries is challenging. There are enormous variations in the rules and regulations, the number and type of deductions, the data that needs to be reported and the frequency of payments. Keeping in-house specialists is impractical in countries with few employees and using multiple local providers means an inconsistent service with a lack of visibility from the centre.

By partnering with BDO Saudi, you can be sure of a consistent, high quality payroll service ensuring compliance and attention to detail at all times.
