OUR STORY
BDO Lixar began as a small Ottawa-based technology company called Lixar, dedicated to building technology that makes a difference in the world. Over the next two decades, Lixar evolved from web and mobile development, to being an award-winning, end-to-end data and AI solutions provider. This embracing of creativity, innovation, and growth eventually led to Lixar joining the BDO Canada family in 2020.
BDO brings to the table 100 years of experience as a leading provider of assurance and accounting, tax, and advisory services across more than a dozen industries. With significant insights into the needs of mid-market organizations across the country, BDO Lixar has the ability to serve our clients’ technology needs like never before. We offer services in Data & AI, Business Applications, Cybersecurity, Modern Workplace, and Digital Strategy, with expert capabilities in everything from cloud migration to advanced data analytics, visualizations, and predictive modeling.
We believe in technology’s ability to help people live and work better; but we also understand that digital transformation is a journey. That’s why we meet you wherever you are along the technology maturity scale, and provide the guidance and support you need to get to where you want to be.
We always strive to be the best partner to our clients and the best workplace for our people. We are client-centric, walking alongside you to help you achieve your goals. We are innovators, challenging each other and ourselves to be bold and embrace opportunity. And we celebrate diversity and inclusion, encouraging individuality and expression of all ideas. To help manifest this commitment, we have a Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer and a National Inclusion and Diversity Advisory Council.
