Microsoft is excited to collaborate with BDO, USA

Microsoft is excited to collaborate with BDO, USA LLP to deliver leading edge business process outsourcing services to their middle market clients.

BDO USA, LLP, one of the nation’s leading accounting, tax, consulting and advisory firms, is teaming with Microsoft to bring the efficiencies of cloud accounting services to its middle market clients. Announced this week, BDODrive, is a new integrated solution for financial management, accounting services and business intelligence that leverages Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Azure.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with BDO USA on BDODrive. As the premier accounting firm serving middle market businesses, BDO is ideally positioned to drive adoption of cloud-based solutions at entrepreneurial companies,” said Paul White, General Manager Microsoft Dynamics SMB Product Marketing. “Other professional service firms are trying to move their clients online, but they don’t provide the value-added advisory relationship that BDO professionals bring to the table. Their analysis and insight greatly enhances the impact of the online solution for clients.”

 

Historically, users of outsourced services have viewed their relationship as transactional. BDO is committed to changing this view of outsourced services. BDODrive is about a relationship with a valued advisor, just as much as it is about achieving new levels of efficiency through leading-edge technology.

 

“Given the familiarity of middle market businesses with Microsoft, it was a priority for us to incorporate their technologies into BDODrive – our outsourcing solution for finance and accounting services,” said Kelly Johnson, Partner and National Practice Leader for Business Services & Outsourcing at BDO USA. “We look forward to working with Microsoft in converting existing clients and many new clients to the cloud and all the benefits it provides.”

Powered by Microsoft Cloud solutions, BDODrive offers clients:

  • A real-time, mobile view of their business’s performance accessible via laptop, tablet or phone
  • New levels of efficiency, security, business intelligence and standardized best practices to outsourced finance and accounting service
  • Access to a dedicated team of experienced professionals to provide analysis, identify opportunities, mitigate risks and collaborate on growth strategies
  • A scalable solution that adapts to clients’ needs as they grow and their business becomes more complex

The announcement of BDODrive and BDO USA’s relationship with Microsoft, follows an announcement last week of a strategic alliance between Microsoft and BDO globally. BDO, together with Microsoft, is poised to deliver exceptional client service across all areas of its operations and industries.
