In February 2019, BDO U.K. acquired Moore Stephens LLP, creating the 5th  largest UK accountancy and business advisory firm focused on mid-sized and larger publicly listed organizations. This acquisition further grew its national payroll capability, servicing payrolls with up to 10k employees. As a result, UK, BDO LLP now has a combined workforce of 5k people across all service lines in  18 locations, delivering revenues of £731m (for the 52 weeks ending 2 July 2021).

The U.K. BDO organization leads  BDO’s global service propositions (compliance, accounting, and payroll) within the wider Business Services & Outsourcing business unit. BDO has ~20 years of experience delivering multi-country payroll services through various proprietary and partner platforms, including evolve, which hosts ~50 country payroll operations.
