What Baker Tilly does

Baker Tilly Canada Cooperative is a Canadian accounting and consulting cooperative headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, operating as the national coordinating entity for a network of independent member firms across Canada with offices in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Nanton. Founded in 1967 and employing 1,001–5,000 professionals, the firm is an independent member of Baker Tilly International, a global network spanning 147 territories, approximately 960 offices, and 33,600–50,400 professionals worldwide with $6.8 billion in global revenue.

The firm delivers professional services across five core lines: Audit and Assurance (audit and accounting for private enterprise and public markets), Tax (international, cross-border personal, indirect tax, tax advisory, succession and estate planning, transfer pricing, U.S. corporate tax), Advisory (corporate finance, transaction services, restructuring and recovery, valuations, dispute resolution, people and culture consulting, wealth management), Digital Services (cybersecurity, data solutions, digital technology and risk), and Baker Tilly Advantage (bookkeeping through outsourced CFO services). Service delivery is organized across six industry verticals: Consumer, Energy/Resources/Industrials, Financial Services, Government and Public Services, Professional Services, and Technology/Media/Telecoms.

Baker Tilly Canada Cooperative itself does not provide professional services directly; it functions as a brand-licensing and member-support entity under the Canada Cooperatives Act, with each Member Firm independently owning client engagements and bearing service delivery responsibility. The cooperative promotes the Baker Tilly brand, supports member firms, and maintains trademarks licensed from an affiliate of Baker Tilly International Limited. GTM motion is enterprise field sales with channel-partner dynamics via the member firm network and global Baker Tilly referral infrastructure. Pricing is engagement-based and not publicly disclosed.
