Baker Tilly International was recognised for delivering both exceptional commercial performance and meaningful investment in its future. Alongside 21.3% organic growth, the judges highlighted its focus on technology, talent and quality, including its global training programmes, extensive audit reviews and an innovative neurodiversity mentoring programme.

Francesca Lagerberg, CEO of Baker Tilly International, says, “This award marks the culmination of an exceptional 18 months for our network, and I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of the more than 50,000 people in our team.

“This achievement is a testament to all their dedication and exceptional efforts, and a recognition from the judges of our market-leading financial growth and strategic innovation. Many congratulations to our global team and thank you to everyone who made it possible.”

Baker Tilly Staples Rodway national chair David Searle is delighted to see Baker Tilly International recognised as Network of the Year.

“It’s a strong endorsement of the network’s direction and reflects the efforts of Baker Tilly teams around the world, including our people here in New Zealand who bring that same focus on quality, collaboration and client service to their work every day,” he says.
