Audit, tax, and advisory firm scaling internal systems and compliance automation
BDO Australia operates a 1,000+ person professional-services firm managing audit, tax, corporate finance, and forensic services across enterprise clients. The tech stack reveals a hybrid enterprise architecture—SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Fabric, and SQL Server for core financial systems, alongside security tooling (Burp Suite, Nmap, Metaspliant) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)—reflecting an organization modernizing legacy infrastructure. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward finance (79 roles) and engineering (41), with active projects focused on DevSecOps controls, Azure observability, compliance automation (AUSTRAC regulatory reporting, AML/CTF), and multi-year ITSM maturity, signaling a shift from manual processes toward governed, automated service delivery.
