Baker Tilly International announced the addition of three new member firms with Baker Tilly Greece, a subsidiary of Baker Tilly in Cyprus, secduring exclusive representation of the Baker Tilly network in Greece.
The newly established “VNT Auditing S.A.”, which was created by the majority of departing members of Baker Tilly Hellas, along with “Accounting Solutions SA” and “Audit Services SA” of ASNetwork, will cooperate and carry out their business under the umbrella of the new Baker Tilly Greece network, using the trade name “Baker Tilly Greece”.
The new firm will strengthen the network in Greece and the Balkans, both in the range of services offered and geographic coverage. South East Europe is one of the most significant growth drivers of Baker Tilly in Europe but is also a market that had been selected by Baker Tilly (Cyprus) as one of the prospective countries to expand their activities abroad.
The cooperation of Baker Tilly in Cyprus, operating with great success in Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova, is a historic step in creating a Balkan coverage with Greece as the main axis offering audit, accounting, consulting and tax consulting services.
Marios Klitou, CEO of Baker Tilly in Cyprus said that "the expansion of Baker Tilly (Cyprus) is one of the most important strategic moves we have made so far. This is the culmination of many years of efforts to establish a reliable pillar of professional services in the Balkans and the region of the southeast Mediterranean. "
George Varthalitis, President and Managing Director of VNT Auditing S.A. said that he "believes that the creation of Baker Tilly Greece is a very important event that will help the network of Baker Tilly in Greece grow more and enter a new path of growth and creativity."
Evangelos Fakos, chairman of the executive committee of Accounting Solutions SA and Audit Services SA, added that, “the combination of expertise and quality of services provided by Baker Tilly Greece will open a new and highly successful chapter of collaboration, not only within the Greek territory, but also in the wider geographical region of south-east Europe.”
