BDO achieves double top spot in industry rankings

Accountancy and business advisory firm, BDO LLP has been ranked as the number one financial due diligence provider in the UK and Ireland in Mergermarket’s Accounting League Table for 2024.

In the same week, the firm has also been named the most active financial adviser by Factset in 2024. The league tables are based on the volume of deals announced in the period and provide market intelligence and comprehensive M&A data.

Derek Neil, partner and Head of Transaction Services at BDO, said: “In an increasingly complex world, we're proud to have earned the position of top financial due diligence provider in 2024. We’ve supported our clients to complete 266 transactions, providing FDD on 217 of these.

“This achievement reflects our clients' trust in us to help them to navigate complex decisions, as well as our talented team's ability to deliver meaningful insights.”

Despite a year of uncertainty, BDO continued to be active across a wide range of sectors and across all UK regions, which is reflected in the publication of the latest league tables. The firm is well-positioned for growth in 2025 with a strong pipeline for Q1.

Derek Neil added: “The evolving deal landscape has highlighted the importance of thoughtful and thorough due diligence, and we're proud to have played a crucial role in helping our clients to achieve their goals. Our leadership position reinforces our commitment to excellence and deep understanding of today's sophisticated M&A environment.”
