Baker Tilly in the Dutch Caribbean

What Baker Tilly in the Dutch Caribbean does

Baker Tilly in the Dutch Caribbean is a private professional services firm operating across the six Dutch Caribbean islands — Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, and Saba — through a multi-entity structure comprising NC Audit & Advisory B.V. and FA Advisory & Tax B.V. (Curaçao), Baker Tilly (Aruba) N.V., Baker Tilly Bonaire B.V., and Baker Tilly St. Maarten B.V. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Willemstad, Curaçao, the firm employs 34 people and ranks among the top 5 accounting firms in the region.

The firm delivers nine interconnected practice areas: Audit & Assurance, Business Support, Tax Advice, Tax Compliance & Accounting, CFO on Demand, Formal Tax Law, Estate Planning, Business Valuation, and Succession Planning. These are delivered through direct, partner-led engagements — there is no software product, platform, or proprietary technology; the underlying "technology" is human expertise augmented by specialized jurisdictional tax knowledge and the shared methodologies of the Baker Tilly International network (top-10 global network, $5.2B worldwide revenue, 141 territories, 658 offices, 43,000 people). The firm recruits internationally, pulling Dutch Caribbean diaspora and Dutch-trained students through career fairs in the Netherlands.

Revenue is earned entirely on a professional-services fee model, priced per engagement based on scope and complexity. No pricing is publicly disclosed and no separate entity revenue is reported. Customer segments span SMEs across tourism, retail, manufacturing, aviation, banking, pension funds, healthcare, and local government; HNWIs and multi-Latina family offices (particularly Latin American); family-owned businesses requiring succession support; and government/public-sector audit clients. Client acquisition is consultative and referral-driven, including inbound referrals from the Baker Tilly International network. The firm does not disclose headcount growth, revenue, or ARR data.
