BDO in Canada celebrates 100th anniversary

From one dream to a century of excellence

From humble beginnings as Dunwoody & Co. — what grew to be one of the largest professional services firms in Canada started with a single entrepreneur with a dream.

BDO knows the challenges small businesses face, because we started out as one. We know the growing pains of the mid-market, because we’ve been there, too. And we know what it means to become an enterprise, because that’s how we transformed.

As Canadian markets shifted over the last 100 years, BDO Canada adapted to the changes and evolved accordingly. As talent pools grew wider and deeper, BDO grew with them. BDO has built a culture that’s rooted in values of collaboration, inclusivity, and helping people achieve their dreams.

As the digital age progressed, BDO moved with it. From the second phase of the industrial revolution, to the internet age, to predictive technology and artificial intelligence — BDO takes pride in harnessing what we’ve learned over the years to be a firm of the future.

One person started this journey by helping clients with their accounting — recognizing the value of people from day one. From our internal teams, to clients, and communities — our Canadian colleagues so proudly celebrate the people who continue to make us who we are today, 10 exceptional decades later.

All BDO people in Azerbaijan are proud to be a part of superb BDO Global family. It’s been amazing to be connected to something that was built from scratch and with big dreams in mind, and survived storms of a century to grow and become a leading global organisation. We enjoy being on this journey with BDO Canada and invite you all to explore BDO Canada’s 100 Year Anniversary Website full of interesting historical material and facts.
