Baker Tilly Netherlands and Baker Tilly Belgium Form Joint Platform

On January 27, 2026, Baker Tilly Netherlands, backed by Inflexion, and Baker Tilly Belgium announced the formation of a joint platform aimed at enhancing their sector expertise and service offerings. This strategic move is designed to create synergies for cross-border clients and to foster joint investments in innovation and digitalization.

The shareholders of both firms will unite under a new overarching company, acquiring a majority stake in the platform. Inflexion, a minority shareholder in Baker Tilly Netherlands, will also acquire a minority stake in the newly formed entity. With a combined revenue exceeding €200 million and approximately 1,300 employees, this partnership lays a solid foundation for future growth.

Both Baker Tilly Netherlands and Baker Tilly Belgium will continue to operate as part of the international Baker Tilly network, maintaining their national autonomy and local entrepreneurship. The collaboration will focus on key strategic themes such as quality, innovation, artificial intelligence, data analysis, and enhancing their employer proposition.

“I look forward to this step with great energy and enthusiasm. As part of Baker Tilly International, we are not strangers to each other, which allowed us to connect quickly. We combine national growth with international collaboration,” said a spokesperson from Baker Tilly.

Another executive added, “Our partnership with Baker Tilly Nederland has started very strongly. This formation of a broader Benelux platform enables the group to capitalize on opportunities in our key markets. Together, we can accelerate growth and selectively pursue further consolidation in the market while offering clients a more comprehensive service.”

The transaction is currently under review by the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets and the Belgian Competition Authority. Baker Tilly Netherlands is also in discussions with the Authority for the Financial Markets regarding the deal. The advisory process with the Works Council in the Netherlands is ongoing, and the transaction is expected to be completed by March 2026. Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.

As both firms prepare for integration, they aim to enhance their commitment to exceptional client service while jointly investing in innovative solutions that deliver cross-border value. This collaboration is poised to shape the future of their industry in both countries.
