BDO appoints new Head of Business Services & Outsourcing
BDO has appointed Ian McBane as its new Head of Business Services & Outsourcing, effective immediately.
Ian became a BDO partner in 2019 after the merger with Moore Stephens, joining the leadership team of the firm’s Business Services & Outsourcing practice at that time. For the last three years, he has also led the firm’s 350-strong national technology, media and telecoms sector team.
With over two decades of experience in finance and accounting, Ian has extensive expertise in driving business growth for established enterprises, mid-market and PE-backed firms as well as emerging scale-ups, helping them to optimise their finance and reporting processes and expand globally.
Commenting on his appointment Ian McBane said: “This is a really exciting time to be taking on this role. By combining our human expertise with cutting-edge technology, we can deliver new AI-enabled and data-driven outsourcing and advisory solutions. I see huge potential to help our clients improve the way they harness data to drive insight, boost efficiency and fuel sustainable growth. And as AI continues to reshape how we work, I'm excited about the opportunities to reimagine and deliver the finance function of the future – supporting our clients to build smarter, more resilient organisations.
Leigh Treacy, BDO’s Head of Consulting, Risk and Outsourcing said: “Ian has a strong track record in supporting businesses throughout the lifecycle from start-up through scale-up to stock market listing. He has also spearheaded our Finance Function of the Future initiative, helping clients to horizon scan and prepare themselves for the challenges of tomorrow. In his new role, Ian’s strategic vision will continue to be hugely valuable to our clients and to us as a firm.”
