BDO BAHAMAS CELEBRATES 45 YEARS
October 21, 2022
BDO Bahamas Celebrates 45 years Bahamas firm thanks clients and celebrates its
45th year It was 45 years ago that the Bahamas location first opened its doors
under the partnership of George Clifford Culmer, a young accountant having
qualified in the United Kingdom, and a founding member of the Bahamas Institute
of Chartered Accountants. It was celebrated with a cocktail party, which was
attended by high officials and businesspeople alike. The early years in The
Bahamas were filled with development. Since then, Mr. Culmer has managed to grow
the firm into the internationally renowned firm that it is today. After
forty-five years, and located in one of Nassau’s prime areas, it has seen the
high-profile cases and extensive government audits that have impressed the most
successful business minds. Today, the firm enjoys the success of internationally
acclaimed cases and clientele in the insolvency, auditing, and advisory
departments. The reputation built expands across the industries and countries
with long standing connections spearheaded by Mr. Clifford Culmer and his
experienced management team. Notably, his most memorable and first court
appointed liquidation was Banco Ambrosiano, followed by BCCI, Dominion, The
Grand Bahama Port Authority Receivership, Mosaic, Sheikh Fahad (In Bankruptcy)
and AIBC, to name a few. The legal and financial relationships formed by such
cases impacted the firm favorably and gave such precedence to the formation of
an exclusive relationship with BDO International. Since then, the firm has
enjoyed working with the rising global network of colleagues and the
international acclamation. His team has helped to propel the direction of the
firm during the hurricane Dorian and Pandemic periods with their acute
navigation skills and managerial assessments through a period unlike any seen in
decades. The firm has profited from the expertise of international liaison
partner, Myles Culmer, the son of the senior partner and Advisory Services
Managing Director as well as Head of Audit and Assurance Services , Brent
Roberts, and supported by a talented pool of staff members over the years.   The
firm has trained many in the profession over the years, as well as achieved its
contribution to society through many charitable efforts, as Mr. Clifford Culmer
was president of the Rotary Club of East Nassau and has a philanthropic spirit.
 He has also served as director of the Bahamas Financial Services Board and as
council member of BDO International. BDO is an international network of public
accounting, tax and advisory firms which perform professional services under the
name of BDO. For the year ended 30 September 2021 BDO (Including BDO's exclusive
Alliances) announced a total combined fee income of more than US$ 11 billion,
representing a year on year growth of 10.8% . BDO public accounting, tax and
advisory firms provide professional services in 164 countries, with 95,414
people working out of 1,713 offices worldwide.   BFSB Award Proud Moments  In
2010 Mr. Clifford Culmer was recognized by the Bahamas Financial Services Board
as “Executive of the Year” in recognition of his outstanding leadership
qualities and his contribution to the industry. This award was granted during a
splendid reception which honored his lifelong service and dedication to an
industry and field that has seen many challenges over the years. This stellar
award gave the firm recognition in an arena recognized for its credentials and
has maintained its credibility over the decades. He has served on the board of
the Central Bank of The Bahamas as well as the board of Commonwealth Bank
Limited for twenty-five years, also known as the first bank for the Bahamian
people, and the leader in personal banking.   BICA award A long way As a
founding member of the Bahamas Institute of Chartered Accountants (BICA), along
with Basil Sands Maitland Cates, Mr. Clifford Culmer served as president for
seven years. The formation of the Institute was the dream of three Bahamians
having returned from the United Kingdom who wanted to create a regulatory
association, the inception of which has now grown to one of the most reputable
associations in the Bahamas. Mr. Culmer was awarded for his service with a
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 at a Gala Banquet, and for his dedication to
his field in Liquidations and public practice as well as the association as
longest serving president. Such networks benefited the firm and lifelong
friendships were built. In May 2010, the firm received the Bahamas Initiative
Directions Platinum Award for quality in New York by the BID committee formed by
leaders of different sectors.   Recent cases A new day Continuing in Advisory
and Auditing has seen the launch of more recent cases such as Mosaic and the
forensic audit of governmental and private companies in Nassau. BDO Bahamas has
been thrilled to liaise with its BDO partners in New York and abroad to
collaborate in its services. In addition, the Auditing Department has worked
strenuously on the audits of government corporations including, Bahamas Water
and Sewerage, Batelco, The Central Bank and The Hotel Corporation, as well as
other private entities. It has been due to the skill and knowledge of the firm
as well as the satisfaction which has the client returning over the years. The
staff have been integral in the achievements of the firm with the long hours
placed by the respective departments, and the ability to satisfy the clients
with final extensive reports. At BDO Bahamas, the staff are aware that they are
part of a team of reputable businesspeople in a global network and strive to
excel in their duties. FUTURE assessment The new norm             Mr. Clifford
Culmer and the management at BDO Bahamas and staff showed exceptional strength
during the extreme and heightened times. The mandate was to work from home
during the pandemic, and the office was physically shut for months with staff
dedicated to their clients from various locations. The firm weathered the
challenges as did many around the world, and expectations remain hopeful. The
strategic position of the firm and expertise places it in an advantageous
position to face the challenges ahead by safety practices in the workplace, and
its strong work ethic. It is important that the clients are aware that BDO
Bahamas is there to advise them with their financial needs and solve their
problems.  The firm thanks its clients and the public as it strives to continue
in its success and growth over the coming years. For your quote or more
