Molly Lourie, BAS Graduate

Baker Tilly offers many training opportunities around the country and I have been able to work with a variety of clients from different industries and locations due to the diverse nature of audit. This exposure is invaluable and definitely a bonus of working in a mid-tier firm.

I’m just five minutes from the beach and work, half an hour from the mountain and all the great tramps on it.
