Get to know us in five minutes
What makes Baker Tilly stand out from the rest? Our people and their commitment to having great relationships with their clients, and with each other.
We posed a set of questions to people across our network. What we got back gives us a glimpse into the different lives and perspectives of our global team members. From what they get up to outside of work, what inspires them and the best advice they've ever had - to the impact of COVID-19 on their firm and the outlook for the future.
Meet some of our Baker Tilly family in our short ‘Five minutes with...' series.
