“Group-IPS is a project management company, offering specialised services in industries such as Life Science, Chemicals, Food & Beverage, Building… We mainly support our clients in building sustainable facilities to support their future growth.”
“We all know the current challenges the world is facing: increasing population, waste management, water supply… These are also the issues our customers are having across the industries we are active in. Within Group-IPS, we created three units (Consulting, Sustainable Process & Environment and Digital Supply Chain & Operations) to address those concerns and offer our clients sustainable solutions.”
“We are a global organisation with 24 different entities worldwide. As we are currently in a growth momentum, we felt the need to harmonise and standardise our company structure more. We could no longer work with local partners with different approaches across countries. We wanted a global partner who could support us with our fast growth and offer us uniform advice and services in tax, accounting, transfer pricing, digital solutions,…”
“When it comes to working with BDO, there are three elements that were significant and that convinced us. First of all, the flexibility. As I mentioned, our sector is a super challenging environment and it’s nice to have a partner like BDO who shows empathy and flexibility by taking it step by step and guarding us for certain future outcomes.
The second element is the expertise. Even though we have only been working together for a couple of months, I really appreciate the effort of BDO in understanding and learning our business to help us create solutions and opportunities for the challenges we’re facing.
The last element is what I would call ‘the extra mile’. Their experts are always thinking ahead and for Group-IPS in particular for example, they were already coming up with solutions on how to prepare for our next transition.”
“The first one is trust. When it comes to finance and accounting, you are always dealing with sensitive information, so trust is definitely key. Integrity also plays an important role, especially when it comes to the advice and solutions we receive for possible concerns or issues. The most important one of course is teamwork or collaboration, it’s always about creating a strong relationship together. That’s also why I’m glad to say that BDO is not just a partner but somebody who we really consider as part of our team.”
