Rely on our restaurant services team for the tailored experience and solutions to gain the competitive edge you need to stand out in a saturated market. 

Flix Brewhouse is a unique concept — the planet’s only first-run dine-in cinema microbrewery, so it’s really three businesses under one roof. We needed an accounting firm that could marshal a unique set of professionals skilled in retail, hospitality and brewery verticals, and keep pace with our high growth trajectory. Baker Tilly is a terrific fit. We get plenty of hands-on partner attention, a full suite of services from audit, to tax to consulting comparable to the Big Four, but with reasonable fees.  Moving from a local firm to Baker Tilly was one of my best moves in growing this business.  
Allan Reagan – CEO, Flix Brewhouse
