Family Business
The stages of life and business can be unpredictable and disruptive. Baker Tilly’s family business team offers a range of innovative services to make the journey approachable and successful.
Family Business
Each family-owned business is on its own quest toward specific ambitions and growth objectives, while balancing varying personalities and relationships.
We know that each family business is unique; there is not one way to manage a family business. We are proactive, responsive and personalized, learning about your objectives and providing customized strategies to achieve them.

Emotions and relationships can often get in the way of making decisions or managing a family business. At Baker Tilly, we believe a set structure can power a forward-thinking approach.
We start by recognizing challenges you may have around board structure, policies, internal controls and accountability. Then, we build an approach that addresses those challenges and incorporates your required back-office processes and procedures.
Our goal is for your family business to run efficiently and effectively.
Strategic planning is complicated. When you add in family vision, values, financial goals or succession, it becomes even more complicated.
Our team can help you determine the best path to turn your family and business goals into reality.
Whether you plan to sell or continue to build your family business, a well-crafted growth strategy is key.
We have the expertise to guide short-term execution and long-term growth decisions, working together with you and your management team.
