Chairman’s Corner

The Continued Strength and Reach of the Baker Tilly International Network By Jim Castellano, CPA

To better serve our clients with international operations, RubinBrown proudly serves as an independent member of Baker Tilly International. Baker Tilly International is one of the world’s leading networks of independently owned and managed audit, accounting and business advisory firms. Every day, 24,000 professionals in 125 countries worldwide help privately held businesses and public interest entities meet challenges, proactively respond to opportunities and stay competitive. International capability and global consistency of service are central to the way RubinBrown operates. Baker Tilly International just released its financial results for the 2011 fiscal year through publication of its Global Annual Review 2011. The results are impressive. Combined revenues of Baker Tilly International’s member firms rose, year-on-year, 5 percent to $3.2 billion and, overall, Baker Tilly International maintained its position as the world’s 8th largest network. These results reflect a two-tier economic recovery. Combined revenues of Baker Tilly International member firms in Asia Pacific leapt 40 percent as economic recovery across the region forged ahead, closely followed by 24 percent combined growth from member firms in Latin America. In the U.S. and across Europe, Middle East and Africa progress was more sedate, reflecting the uncertain economic environments. Overall, this growth demonstrates our commitment to building a network capable of competing effectively in the global marketplace.
