Public Sector

The public sector is professionalising and evolving towards being a mature, contemporary player in an increasingly complex, digital and sustainable society. Changing social expectations, pressure on public finances, incessant technological evolution and developments in market forces are compelling governments to shape their public service and assistance provision in a contemporary way. In doing so, your operations are often compared with the business world. 

Rightly or wrongly? Everyone has noticed that quality, efficiency, transparency, sustainability and effectiveness are improving. Everyone also knows there is room for improvement, right? Without an administrative burden or overload and with a smart service. Citizens and businesses demand a government that is one click away from them while leaving no one behind. Anything but easy!

The message here is to work together but differently. The aim? To maintain and optimise the existing efficiencies in your back office. And at the same time strive for the highest possible level of customer focus in the front office. Digitally if it can be done and makes sense. Help or support from seasoned experts familiar with government is more than welcome.

BDO never suggests just any expert(s) to you. The public and non-profit sector requires specific knowledge, skills and operational experience at every level or within every niche – from municipality, OCMW (public welfare centre), fire brigade and police zone to institutions at Flemish, Brussels, Walloon and federal level.

What’s more, your expert does not operate alone. Multidisciplinary teamwork is our extra advantage. Always pragmatic and tailored to your situation. Your expert constantly consults with colleagues specialising in other complementary areas, such as taxation, GDPR, labour law, audit, information technology, sustainability, cybersecurity, etc. Use their knowledge, experience and solution to:

• assist you in drawing up budgets, multiannual plans and annual accounts; 
• comply with your accounting, VAT and tax obligations; 
• optimise the functioning of financial services; 
• assist you with the autonomisation of specific services; 
• support you in quarterly and management reporting; 
• set up feasibility studies and optimisations; 
• support you in growing towards a more sustainable organisation and the associated non-financial reporting; 
• help roll out PPP partnerships; 
• optimise processes; 
• analyse your financial management capacity;
