Deloitte in Saudi Arabia
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is located in the Middle East bordering the Persian Gulf and Red Sea and occupying most of the Arabian Peninsula. Its location in the middle of three continents–Asia, Africa and Europe–gives it a unique geographical location which has added value to its trade sector.
Deloitte & Touche Bakr Abulkhair & Co. was established in Saudi Arabia more than half a century ago. Soon after the initial office in Jeddah was opened, another was set up in Riyadh. The addition of a third fully-fledged practice in Al Khobar enabled us to provide professional services to the entire Kingdom.
In serving both local and foreign companies, Deloitte & Touche Bakr Abulkhair & Co, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT), has become one of the largest accounting and consulting firms in the entire region. Its scope and experience equips it to help solve the problems of businesses of all sizes. The high quality and efficiency of Deloitte & Touche Bakr Abulkhair & Co’s services has helped shape the business landscape of the Kingdom in the last half century.
Deloitte & Touche Bakr Abulkhair & Co is committed to offering career opportunities to talented and well qualified Saudi graduates in the Audit, Tax, Consulting, and Financial Advisory fields. Thanks to the human resources and learning development programs offered by Deloitte in the Middle East, a diversified team of Saudi partners who joined our firm as young graduates have since been admitted as partners.
Helping KSA and the region grow
Just as we’ve played a vital role in the growth of KSA to date, we’re also very much a part of its future. Deloitte has identified the Middle East as a priority market that represents superior growth opportunities. As such, our Middle East firms, operating in 15 countries and employing almost 2,500 professionals across the region and including KSA, have been targeted for major investment.
This is accompanied by a focused strategy of expansion in key business areas and a continued emphasis on recruiting and retaining the most talented professionals from the region and other countries to serve Middle East companies.
Our clients benefit from the breadth and diversity of our resources in helping them manage their growth and broaden their presence in the global economy. Combining the global insight and innovation of a worldwide firm with local knowledge and industry expertise, our people offer powerful business solutions that help our clients excel.
To address the growing market needs, we have expanded our specialized professional services in the Middle East, leveraging our local and global talent in areas such as Financial Advisory Services, Enterprise Risk Services and International Tax Services. We have also continued to play a pivotal role in serving the region’s high-growth industry sectors such as tourism, hospitality and leisure, construction, telecoms and financial services, as well as major sectors such as oil and gas, the public sector and the Gulf region’s sovereign wealth funds. Our Middle East knowledge centers are a testament to our specialized capabilities in strategic services and industries.
We recognize the special needs of small businesses are very different from those of multinational corporations and we have the experience and understanding to meet the needs of both. With the strength of our regional network and global organization behind us, we offer small and large companies the best of all worlds.
