In a transformative move that redefines advisory and accounting services for the middle market, Baker Tilly and Moss Adams have announced their planned combination to create the sixth largest advisory CPA firm in the U.S.. Expected to close in early June of this year, the combination strengthens the firms’ industry specialization, expands its geographic reach and enhances its capabilities across advisory, tax and assurance services.

With complementary strengths and a shared commitment to client success, Baker Tilly and Moss Adams will unite under the Baker Tilly name, forming a leading firm positioned to help middle-market businesses navigate an increasingly complex environment. Jeff Ferro, CEO of Baker Tilly, will serve as CEO of the combined firm through his retirement, with Eric Miles, currently Moss Adams CEO, named CEO-elect. Miles will assume the role of CEO January 1, 2026, with Ferro remaining a director on Baker Tilly’s board thereafter.
