View profile of BDO MaltaMsida stands out for one reason: all four firms based here are accounting firms, and all four offer audit. A foreign company that needs its accounts audited can therefore ask the same practice that keeps the books, or a sister practice, rather than searching for a separate auditor. Two of the four are small, one is medium and one belongs to a large network.
Three of the four say they work with foreign clients, and one is open about two audiences in particular: expatriates, including digital nomads, and foreign start-ups entering Malta. Others describe international companies, high-net-worth individuals and middle-market businesses with cross-border operations. If you are a remote worker rather than a company owner, this page is worth a look.
