Baker Tilly (US) continues its strategic growth trajectory with the planned acquisition of Hayflich CPAs PLLC, a respected firm serving West Virginia. This move strengthens Baker Tilly’s footprint in the mid-Atlantic region and enhances its ability to provide tailored audit, tax and advisory solutions in the wholesale distribution, construction and manufacturing sectors.
This marks Baker Tilly (US)’s third strategic expansion since the start of the year, reinforcing its commitment to growth and client service excellence.
Fred Massanova, Baker Tilly’s chief growth officer and managing principal – Eastern US, said: “Hayflich CPAs has built a strong reputation over its 70-year history, and we are excited to welcome their talented team to Baker Tilly. Together, we will create even greater opportunities for our clients and team members.”
Rob Fuller, managing partner of Hayflich CPAs, added: “Joining Baker Tilly opens new opportunities for our clients and team members. We are excited to bring our local expertise to a firm that values strong client relationships and forward-thinking solutions.”
Francesca Lagerberg, CEO of Baker Tilly International, said: “This latest acquisition by Baker Tilly (US) is a fantastic example of the growth mindset we embrace at Baker Tilly — expanding capabilities, strengthening expertise and creating more value for clients, and for our people.”
As is standard for firms operating under alternative practice structures, the transaction consists of two acquisitions: Baker Tilly US, LLP will acquire attest assets, while Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP will acquire non-attest assets.
