Case Study: Baker Tilly achieves growth in Client Accounting Services and deepens advisory services with ADP

How Baker Tilly continues to grow Client Accounting Services (CAS) & deepen their advisory role

Baker Tilly, a national accounting firm, faced shifting client expectations as technology accelerated demand for real‑time cloud services and broader advisory work beyond traditional compliance. With clients asking for automated processes, payroll and HR integration, and industry‑specific insights, the firm needed to evolve its service model, hire new technology and industry specialists, and deliver timely, trustworthy data.

Baker Tilly partnered with ADP, adopting RUN Powered by ADP for payroll and Accountant Connect/ADP DataCloud for analytics and compensation benchmarking, integrated with QuickBooks and Sage Intacct. The solution streamlined payroll operations, freed staff for higher‑value advisory projects, enabled on‑the‑go guidance with reliable data, improved benchmarking and talent insights, and helped grow their Client Accounting Services and advisory revenue.
