Ian Oliver

I am BDO's Head of UK Life Sciences and an audit partner.

I focus on leading our UK Life Sciences team to coordinate delivery of services to assist life sciences businesses with their growth ambitions, from start-up through to IPO (Initial Public Offering) or exit.

My degrees in chemistry and genetic engineering enable me to understand the aims of life sciences businesses and speak their language. As an audit partner, I am passionate about delivering a high-quality audit process, assisting organisations with all aspects of their audit, assurance, and UK, IFRS or US financial reporting requirements.I have significant experience working with public companies, private equity/venture capital backed businesses and private companies. My sector expertise in life sciences spans biotechnology, medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
