Baker Tilly bumps global revenues to $6.8 billion on the back of 21% spike
Baker Tilly has posted $6.8 billion in global revenues after jumping by more than 20 percent over 2025, reinforcing its position as one of the top ten largest accounting and advisory companies.
The international affiliate of Pitcher Partners, which is also among the top ten in Australia, Baker Tilly’s impressive financial year continues a six-year growth streak of almost 75 percent, with the firm’s headcount also surpassing 50,000 professionals last year.
“Organic and inorganic growth in revenues across all our regions and service lines is a remarkable achievement given the challenges faced by the professional services market over the past twelve months,” said London HQ-based global CEO Francesca Lagerberg.
A major factor in last year’s growth was Baker Tilly’s US member merging with local outfit Moss Adams, contributing to a 37.5 percent spike in North American revenues alongside the network’s Aussie-led Canadian branch. Baker Tilly’s EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) geography also recorded double-digit growth, while its Latin American business was up by 7 percent.
Things were a little less rosy from an Asia Pacific perspective though, with negligible regional growth of 0.3 percent following last year’s 2 percent gain (in local currency terms) to continue a downward local trend after ticking over the $1 billion mark back in 2022. Pitcher Partners also last year experienced minor growth relative to its international peers, of just 2 percent.
Elsewhere, the firm did however continue to buck other market trends, with its advisory line up by 16 percent for the second consecutive year. Of its other major divisions, tax led the way, up by almost a third, followed by audit & assurance with growth of almost 20 percent. Legal services also gained by 15 percent.
Over 50,000 people
Perhaps most notable, at a time of widespread downsizing, Baker Tilly grew its headcount last year by 16 percent to cross the 50,000 mark including over 3,900 partners, five of whom were promoted in Australia mid-year in addition to two earlier tax recruits – Terry Hoban and Dragan Misic.
Globally, the network’s professionals span some 700 offices covering 145 territories.
“For Baker Tilly, 2026 promises to be another exciting year with more learning and experimentation into how we harness the power of technology to continue to give our clients the very best service, such that the war for the right talent will continue as we all pursue the same pool of tech-savvy, tech-curious and multi-skilled new recruits,” Lagerberg noted.
The results, based on publicly-available figures, provisionally place Baker Tilly in eighth spot on the global accounting and consulting leaderboard, with HLB previously sitting just shy of $6 billion and Crowe, the affiliate of Findex, also yet to report after last year’s $5.8 billion take. The smallest of the upper mid-tier, Grant Thornton, reported revenues of $8.5 billion at the end of last year.
Looking ahead, Lagerberg concluded: “We will continue to focus on building strong, personal and long-term relationships with clients, understanding their businesses, and providing proactive, value-added services. This approach builds trust and loyalty, setting us apart in a competitive market. It promises to be another stimulating and interesting twelve months.”
