Baker Tilly MKM/Baker Tilly JFC, Baker Tilly International's member firm in the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia, has expanded into Bahrain and Qatar.

The firm said it will provide audit and consultancy services in each market, working with member firms around the world whose clients are tapping into the growing Middle Eastern markets. 

"Baker Tilly MKM/Baker Tilly JFC's expansion into Bahrain and Qatar gives us complete and comprehensive coverage across the Gulf Co-operation Council member countries, not only strengthening our ability to service clients across the Gulf but also the entire Middle East,” said Geoff Barnes, chief executive and president of Baker Tilly International.

In July, the firm further bolstered its list of member firms, launching in Turkmenistan and Kosovo, followed by moves into Rwanda and Liberia. So far this year it has added a raft of member firms in various locations, including Slovakia, Ghana and Denmark. 

Baker Tilly International has 149 member firms across 125 countries.
