A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
We have a lot to celebrate. Committing to a clear vision and executing our strategic plan have allowed us to contribute to our clients’ success, cultivate a collaborative culture, create opportunities for our people, and enrich our communities. The momentum is building on our journey to become America’s Finest Professional Services Firm.

In the US and around the world, Baker Tilly is focused on meeting the growing needs of our clients. Expanding our New York practice was an integral part of our strategic plan. We are thrilled to have merged with New York firm Holtz Rubenstein Reminick (HRR), increasing our staff to more than 1,600 professionals, with 191 partners. HRR has a strong presence in New York and understands the importance of expanding in this globally strategic market. Bringing together these two great firms begins the next chapter of the firm’s journey.

As a member of Baker Tilly International, the world’s eighth largest accountancy and business advisory network, we offer clients global services spanning dozens of industries and technical specialties. Our experience conducting business in countries throughout the world gives our professionals broad perspectives to serve clients as Valued Business Advisors.

By living our values of Integrity, Passion, and Stewardship, we have created a remarkable culture. We are honored that our employees consistently recognize Baker Tilly as a great place to work both regionally and nationally. We continue to focus on the professional development of our people, equipping them to meet the dynamic needs of clients and enabling them to have rewarding careers.

We are also proud that our people give back to our communities both personally and professionally. Community service is an important element of our Stewardship value, and the focus we place on our communities is part of what makes Baker Tilly exceptional.

It highlights examples of how our client-centric way of doing business contributes to our clients’ success and how our focus on our people and their professional development provides them with greater opportunities to achieve their professional goals. When we remain focused on our strategy and its execution, we all win.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM
OUR CLIENTS:
“You asked. I told you and you did something about it.
And I really respect that.”
– VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE, TAX-EXEMPT PUBLIC CHARITY
Baker Tilly is first class! They have been a true partner
with us, going above and beyond to help us on complex issues with short time frames in which to work.”
– DIRECTOR, large technical services company
Baker Tilly took the time to understand our business first. Then they brought in the right people with the right expertise to talk over what the opportunities were. They didn’t take a single focus. Rather, they discussed options based on the broad range of services they offer. I would absolutely recommend Baker Tilly to another company.”
