What Baker Tilly International does

Baker Tilly International is a global network of independent accounting and advisory firms headquartered in London, United Kingdom, operating across 147 territories through 754 offices and approximately 50,400 professionals. The network delivers four core service lines: audit and assurance (including ESG regulatory reporting), tax (corporate, international, transfer pricing, indirect, global mobility, and private clients), advisory (consulting, transactions, digital, and risk advisory/ESG), and legal services across 110 jurisdictions. Service delivery is partner-led through locally independent member firms, with cross-border mandates coordinated by the global team; revenue is generated on a professional services, quote-based model.

The network's revenue model is primarily fee-based professional services, with $6.8 billion in worldwide revenue recorded in 2025 (USD). Mid-market businesses with turnover of US$50 million to US$1 billion form the primary customer segment, supplemented by sector-specific verticals including agribusiness, energy, education, healthcare, real estate, TMT, and life sciences. Recent commercial activity includes an announced $7 billion strategic combination with Moss Adams, an aggressive US acquisition roll-up (CironeFriedberg, Hancock Askew, Hayflich, Sockeye, KraftCPAs, Berkowitz Pollack Brant), and Middle East expansion via new member firms in the UAE and Qatar.

Technology offerings include the proprietary RiskScan AI platform for risk analysis and benchmarking, the complianceNOW suite (expanded with stewardshipNOW) for life sciences compliance, and robotic process automation capabilities acquired through Alirrium in October 2024. The network also publishes thought leadership research, notably the "mid-market maze" scenario-planning initiative covering mid-market business futures through 2035. Distribution is anchored by the member firm directory and international enquiry channels, with marketing spanning thought leadership, podcasts, social, events, and an email newsletter.
