Our purpose

Unleash and amplify talent

In 2022, we took the bold step of declaring our firm’s purpose: to unleash and amplify talent. Fueled by the clarity we gained after two years of pivoting to navigate through the pandemic, our purpose emerged. We put our people — the source of all the good we do for our clients and communities — at the core of our organization. And we dug deeper to identify more ways we can support their success.

Unleash and amplify talent means helping our people discover their strengths and make them stronger. It means helping them sharpen their skills, deepen their knowledge, explore possibilities and soar to personal heights at Baker Tilly. To do this, we will knock down barriers, eliminate obstacles and champion learning opportunities. We will give our people the trust they deserve and the support they need to be their best.

This is our purpose. This is why we exist as an organization. Together, we are determined to make Baker Tilly all it can be and to further the talent, experience and sense of fulfillment of our people. We make every day, every season and every year filled with purpose in our work, our relationships and our conduct.
