Our values

How clients benefit

Client management is based on the principle of the «client as partner». All clients have their own dedicated contact person who supports them on over the long term and coordinates all services provided to them by BDO. Our clients are always served by the offi ce that offers them the greatest benefi ts. Responsibilities are defined on a case-by-case basis, and may be determined both geographically and on a thematic basis. Client partners bear ultimate responsibility for their client.

Quality and client benefits shape the way we think and act. We are also aware that an impeccable reputation is vitally important to the development of BDO. We address these considerations in everything we do.

In Switzerland, we cover all parts of the country and all linguistic regions. We have the best, densest geographical coverage in our industry, meaning we are always close at hand to address clients’ needs and concerns.
