Baker Tilly Inks Deal to Acquire New York-Based CPA Firm Anchin

Baker Tilly, fresh off its megamerger with Moss Adams, will acquire accounting and tax firm Anchin in a deal that will allow the top 10 firm to build a wider presence in New York.

Private equity-backed Baker Tilly Advisory Group LP expects to close the acquisition this summer, the firm said Wednesday. Financial terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed.

• The deal will bring Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP, which earned $160 million in revenue last year, and its 600 professionals into the Baker Tilly fold. Russell Shinsky, Anchin managing partner, will serve as managing principal for Baker Tilly’s New York office.
• With the deal, the expanding Baker Tilly, which brought in $3.5 billion in revenue last year, will relocate its headquarters from Chicago to New York. “New York is one of the most important markets for our clients and for the future of our firm,” Eric Miles, Baker Tilly’s CEO, said in a statement.
• Hellman & Friedman and Valeas Capital Partners invested in Baker Tilly in 2024. The influx of private capital has sparked a rash of combinations among top US accounting firms, including the 2025 merger of Baker Tilly and its peer Moss Adams last year.
