Canadian accounting network providing audit, tax, and advisory services
Baker Tilly Canada is a 1,000+ person partnership operating as a cooperative of independent chartered professional accounting firms across Canada. The tech stack reveals a traditional accounting-practice foundation—Microsoft Office, Caseware, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP, Oracle—with emerging cloud adoption (Xero, Azure, Power BI). Active hiring velocity and a finance-heavy department mix (144 of 168 roles) signal scaling of client capacity, while projects around cloud-migration and client onboarding suggest a strategic shift toward modernizing legacy engagements.
