Local governments’ ongoing, effective financial and operational management is comprised of many functions, often working together to create a strong government. As an independent advisor, Baker Tilly’s only priority is doing what’s best for the local governments we represent.
Our solutions
Cities, towns, villages, counties and townships have challenges and opportunities that are different from other public sector entities and organizations. These challenges include projecting changes in tax revenue, finding new revenue sources, working on long-range planning, funding buildings and improvements and structuring the most advantageous economic development package.
