COMMUNITY IMPACT FIRM OF THE YEAR
BAKER TILLY
Baker Tilly stands apart in the Los Angeles market as more than a leading accounting firm – it is a trusted advisor, employer of choice, and deeply committed community partner. Following the landmark combination of Baker Tilly and Moss Adams in 2025, the organization unifies the scale, resources, and innovation of a national platform with the longstanding local relationships and regional expertise that defined their combined success in Southern California for decades. This strategic merger has uniquely positioned the firm to serve the evolving needs of Los Angeles-area businesses while preserving the culture, accessibility, and market insight that clients value most. Baker Tilly’s strength lies in technical proficiency and people-first culture. Initiatives such as mentorship programs, leadership development, inclusive hiring practices, and robust professional learning pathways empower individuals at every stage of their careers while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment. This focus on people has translated into strong employee engagement and retention across the firm. Equally important is Baker Tilly’s commitment to giving back to the communities it serves. Across the Los Angeles area, the firm actively engages in hands-on volunteerism, employee-led charitable initiatives, and long-standing partnerships with local not-for-profit organizations. Professionals regularly support causes focused on education, youth development, food insecurity, social services, and economic opportunity, contributing both time and resources to strengthen the region. This culture of service is embedded in the firm’s values and encouraged at every level, ensuring that community impact is not incidental, but intentional and sustained.
