Baker Tilly International announces a new member firm in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), strengthening the global network’s presence in this key strategic market.
The addition of the Dubai-headquartered firm reaffirms Baker Tilly’s commitment to both the Middle East and Africa (MEA) and the UAE itself. With its world-class infrastructure, business-friendly regulatory framework, and diverse economy, the country offers a dynamic environment for companies seeking growth opportunities.
Clients will benefit from deep local knowledge combined with access to international best practices and specialist expertise tailored to their specific business challenges.
Saad Maniar, managing partner of Baker Tilly in the UAE, said: “Joining Baker Tilly International is a significant milestone for our firm. In an era of rapid change and heightened client expectations, aligning ourselves with a strong global network will enable us to deliver even greater value to our clients. We are excited about the opportunities for knowledge exchange, collaboration and innovation.”
Francesca Lagerberg, CEO of Baker Tilly International, said: “MEA is an important region for the future growth of the Baker Tilly network globally. The expertise and reputation for quality demonstrated by our UAE firm aligns perfectly with our core values. It not only strengthens our capabilities in the region but also enhances our ability to support clients with cross-border needs through seamless, integrated solutions.”
Last year, Chakib Zaari, founder of Baker Tilly in Morocco, was named Regional Chair for MEA and Gagik Gyulbudaghyan was appointed Regional Director, highlighting the importance of the region for the network. Together they work with member firms to drive international business growth and develop the network’s services and capabilities across the region.
