Whether you are setting up your business entities internationally or reviewing your approach to local regulatory compliance, partnering with us can deliver you peace of mind and visibility and assist your company in becoming a good corporate citizen on a global scale.
Many companies do not have a dedicated company secretary and can benefit from expert guidance and support to cope with ever-changing rules, regulations and best practice. Businesses also face a variety of challenges including a lack of management infrastructure, poor local knowledge, reduced visibility and a lack of internal resource. We offer a tailored approach to meet your business’s specific situation and needs.
Our global model uses knowledge from local BDO experts within each jurisdiction while always ensuring compliance and attention to detail. All this work is coordinated centrally by your dedicated global coordination team based in the UK. This is supported by leading technology platforms and you get full visibility through our online Client Portal. You can be confident we understand the issues you experience operating internationally.
