best possible
As good as possible under the given circumstances or to the best of one's knowledge and conscience. It describes the highest achievable quality or the best achievable result.
Wir werden Sie bestmöglich bei Ihrem Vorhaben unterstützen.

The word is made up of 'best' (the superlative of 'gut' (good)) and 'möglich' (possible). So it literally means 'as good as it is possible.'
Wir suchen die bestmögliche Lösung für alle Beteiligten.
We are looking for the best possible solution for everyone involved.
'Bestmöglich' (best possible/as best as possible) can be used as an adverb to describe a verb. In that case, it remains unchanged. If it stands before a noun, it is declined like a normal adjective.
Die Mannschaft hat sich bestmöglich auf das Spiel vorbereitet.
The team prepared for the game as best as possible.
'Bestmöglich' (best possible/as best as possible) is often combined with verbs that describe a service or effort. Typical phrases are 'bestmöglich unterstützen' (to support as best as possible), 'bestmöglich beraten' (to advise as best as possible), or 'bestmöglich vorbereiten' (to prepare as best as possible).
Unser Ziel ist es, unsere Kunden bestmöglich zu beraten.

perfect
'perfekt' and 'bestmöglich' both describe something very good. 'perfekt' sounds stronger: it means without mistakes or exactly right for a situation. 'bestmöglich', on the other hand, means as good as possible under the given circumstances. So the result does not have to be flawless. Learners may confuse the words because both are positive. If something is truly ideal or flawless, 'perfekt' fits. If someone tries or achieves the best despite limitations, 'bestmöglich' is more precise.
