For the financial year 2025, BDO is reporting revenue performance for both member firms and alliance firms to provide a more comprehensive view of global revenue. All other figures reflect member firms of the global BDO network only.

Alliance firm: An alliance firm is not a member of the BDO network, but a legally and economically independent organisation that operates under its own brand and partners strategically with BDO on selected services.

Member firm: A member firm is an independent legal entity that is part of the global BDO network and operates under the BDO brand.
