Baker Tilly is set to merge with
Edinburgh-based accounting and tax advisory firm Stephen Hay &
Associates.

The merger builds Baker Tilly’s Scotland
operations to 23 partners and 170 staff in Edinburgh, Glasgow and
Lerwick.

Partners Stephen Hay, Kevin Meaney, Shirley
McIntosh and Norma Wilson will retain their roles as partners in
Baker Tilly following the merger. Hay’s team will also transfer to
Baker Tilly’s offices in Fountainbridge over the coming weeks.

“This merger will enable us to continue our
growth strategy throughout Scotland,” Baker Tilly Scotland office
managing partner Robert Ross said.
