History

In 1963, alliances were created among like-minded accounting firms in the US, UK, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands – united in their commitment to exceptional client service. 

In 1973, the British, German and Dutch member firms adopted a common name ‘Binder Dijker Otte’ (reflecting the surnames of their three founders), whose acronym ‘BDO’ has endured for the entire global network. 

The firm quickly expanded both its services and geographic reach and by the 1980s, the global network had been established.

BDO was first established in New Zealand in 1979. Today, we are one of New Zealand’s largest network of independently-owned accounting practices with 21 offices nationally; Kerikeri, Whangarei, Auckland, Tauranga, Te Puke, Rotorua, Gisborne, New Plymouth, Napier, Palmerston North, Wellington, Blenheim, Nelson, Christchurch, Alexandra, Cromwell, Wanaka, Queenstown and Invercargill. 

Today, BDO’s entrepreneurial spirit and focus on fostering enduring client relationships within our local business communities lives on, as we remain united in our common purpose of ‘people helping people.
