Chi joins BDO from PwC and will also be based in the London office.

BDO culture and purpose people head Anna Draper said: “We pride ourselves on delivering a high quality, partner-led service and these appointments reflect an ongoing commitment to offer a diverse range of services and resources to the businesses we serve.

“Gordon, David and Chi all bring a wealth of experience and sector expertise to the firm and will be great additions to their respective teams at BDO.”

In September 2024, BDO appointed more than 600 new trainees to its UK offices. The new recruits join the firm’s existing workforce of 8,000 across audit, tax, and advisory practices, with more than half based outside of London.

The trainees included university graduates, school leaver apprentices, and students undertaking a 12-month industrial placement.
