Baker Tilly International, the UK-headquartered accountancy and advisory firm, has launched a member firm in Slovakia in a bid to boost its coverage in Central Europe.

Bratislava-based Baker Tilly Slovakia will focus on audit and accounting, but has a five-year growth plan in place to develop both tax and transaction support.

Baker Tilly recently reported that it grew its global revenues by 5 per cent to $3.2 billion during the 12 months to June last year. The increase was fuelled predominantly by growth in Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
