Baker Tilly International has expanded its Middle East presence with a new member firm in Qatar, underscoring the network’s long-term commitment to this strategically important region.
Baker Tilly (Qatar) brings more than 20 years of experience delivering audit, accounting, tax, advisory and consulting services to clients across a broad range of industries, further strengthening Baker Tilly’s multidisciplinary offering in the region.
Sami Lutfi Zaitoon, managing partner of Baker Tilly (Qatar), said: “ Since our inception, we have been dedicated to delivering exceptional service to both local and international clients. By joining Baker Tilly, we are significantly enhancing our reach and service capabilities. This strategic evolution allows us to pair our deep local expertise with the scale, resources, and collaboration of the Baker Tilly global network, ensuring we are perfectly positioned to support our clients navigating complex, cross-border challenges.”
Francesca Lagerberg, CEO of Baker Tilly International, added: “Qatar’s National Vision 2030 is transforming the country into a dynamic hub for finance, technology, logistics and trade. We are seeing strong demand for advisory services among small, medium-sized, and family-owned businesses, alongside increased merger and acquisition activity across key sectors. Welcoming an experienced firm in Qatar strengthens our regional capabilities, enabling us to support clients with both local insight and cross-border expertise, and ensuring we can effectively serve international clients in this strategically important market.”
Last year, Baker Tilly International also welcomed member firms in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, strengthening its presence across the wider Middle East.
