BlueScientific Limited multi-country tax and payroll

Challenge

BlueScientific Limited, a market-leading exclusive distributor of scientific instruments for research and development on both academic and industrial markets in the UK, Ireland, and Nordic countries, needed comprehensive financial and tax services across multiple jurisdictions. The company operates in the UK, Sweden, Finland, and Norway, requiring coordinated payroll, financial statements, corporate income tax returns, and VAT registration support across all these countries.

We have been BDO's clients for just over two years. The fact that BDO can help us with payroll, VAT, financial statements, and corporate income tax returns as well as possibly other services in all these countries supports our business. Communication is clear and fast. If there is something unclear in an email, BDO's experts are happy to suggest a Teams meeting where the unclear matter is explained in more detail. We never have to chase answers from BDO's teams. We have clear deadlines for payroll phases, which means both BDO and we can perform tasks on time. For financial statement services and corporate income tax returns, communication is clear and work is done quickly, which we greatly appreciate. The stability of contact persons has also been beneficial. Having had the same contact persons from the beginning for financial statements and corporate income tax returns as well as in payroll helps build a strong working relationship with BDO. Overall, it has been a pleasure to work with BDO's teams. We feel we are in good hands when BDO provides guidance and support as needed. BDO's wide range of services is also impressive. — Emily Wilkins, Financial Controller, BlueScientific Limited
