    Workforce outlook: Survey shows public sector leaders value talent strategies

    With unemployment rates low, state and local organizations need to reimagine how, where, when and by whom work is getting done. Baker Tilly conducted a survey with public sector leaders around the topic of recruitment and retention, two ongoing challenges faced by human resource teams across industries.

    Baker Tilly is an extraordinary firm. They make the first-year engagement seamless by collaborating as a true partner. Their customer service is exceptional because they put in the time upfront to understand the uniqueness of their client’s accounting structure and operations as well as putting in the time to meet client deadlines. Their extensive government practice, including counties and single audits, creates a dedicated knowledge base and resource. Baker Tilly consistently exceeds expectations, and I highly recommend them.
    Former Chief Financial Officer, DuPage County, Illinois
    Over the years, Baker Tilly has been an effective auditor for Moshannon Valley School District. In addition to our annual financial statement audit, they have performed special focus audits on our areas of risk such as tax collectors and our student activity fund. Our business office is responsible for a wide variety of services such as payroll, human resources, purchasing, accounts payable, budgeting, cafeteria operations, pupil transportation, state reporting, etc. Nobody on our team has an accounting background. Therefore, we also lean heavily on Baker Tilly for accounting services and advice. Our trusted business advisers always provide friendly, prompt and reliable service and guidance. They are very knowledgeable and help our school stay compliant with the ever-changing government reporting regulations. Our years of partnership with our auditors can be summed up with five letters – TRUST. I have and will continue to recommend Baker Tilly to any district looking for auditing services.
    Elsie Harchak, Business Manager, Moshannon Valley School District, Pennsylvania
    I rely on the Baker Tilly team as a resource throughout the year. They have a strong understanding of GASB changes, pending regulations and other issues that may impact the county. If something comes up or we have questions, they respond quickly and with recommendations tailored to our specific needs.
