Baker Tilly Ireland

What Baker Tilly Ireland does

Baker Tilly Ireland is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Cork with a second office in Dublin, providing audit, tax, advisory, and financial outsourcing services. The firm is structured as Baker Tilly Ireland Audit Limited (private company) and Baker Tilly Ireland Limited Partnership, operating as an independent member of the Baker Tilly International network and, since 2024, as part of the MHA alliance spanning the UK and Ireland. It serves enterprise and mid-market clients across six primary verticals: Construction, Infrastructure and Real Estate; Financial Services (including asset management, banking, insurance, and FinTech/crypto); Retail, Consumer and Hospitality; Technology; Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences; and Not-for-profit organisations.

The firm's service portfolio is organised into four pillars. Audit and Assurance covers external audit. Advisory spans business advisory, corporate finance, insolvency and debt advisory, international business services, global mobility and expatriate services, and sustainability and ESG consulting. Tax covers corporate, international, and private client tax. Financial Outsourcing includes payroll, digital accounting services, and bookkeeping. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the firm's technology footprint is described as cloud-based and digital accounting tooling delivered as a service, rather than a licensable product.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services with custom, quote-based pricing that varies by engagement scope and complexity, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated through direct client engagement, referrals, and inbound flow from the Baker Tilly International network (which reports $6.8 billion in worldwide revenue across 141 countries). Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, supported by content marketing, a podcast (Passion to Purpose), and a presence on LinkedIn and Instagram. Headcount is approximately 75, with no PE/VC ownership identified; the BAKER TILLY trade mark is licensed from Baker Tilly International Limited via CCBP Limited.
