BDO Switzerland is a 1,000–5,000-person audit and tax consulting firm operating 35 offices across Switzerland. The tech stack reveals infrastructure modernization in progress: the firm is actively adopting infrastructure-as-code tools (Bicep, Terraform, OpenTofu, Ansible) alongside Microsoft cloud services (Azure, 365), while maintaining SAP for back-office operations. Hiring momentum is finance-heavy (70 roles open), with stated pain points around legacy system integration and digitalizing core audit workflows—typical friction points for professional services firms scaling beyond manual processes.
