Our Services

In addition to our standard suite of tax and accounting services, Baker Holtz clients in specific
niche industries enjoy comprehensive service as well.

Our team

At Baker Holtz, we believe excellent client care comes when we perfectly
balance our expertise and your unique needs.

Industries

For over 40 years we’ve offered customized tax, accounting and advisory services across various industries. Each member of the Baker Holtz team brings a unique skill set and wealth of experience that helps us hone in on your specific niche.

Transportation

Baker Holtz works with motor carriers, movers, third party logistics providers, and public warehouses to help each client financially come out on top in today’s competitive industry of transportation.

Customer demands and logistics are continually changing. We remain at the forefront as an industry provider by keeping up on trends, opportunities and issues surrounding the transportation business. Our extensive knowledge of the industry’s challenges enable us to anticipate changes and react quickly and accurately.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry faces daily challenges such as wide-spread competition, evolving tax regulations and high customer and employee expectations. Considering these obstacles, it is essential that you have advisors in your corner who understand the demands of the industry and cater to those specific needs.

We help clients like you every day in analyzing operations such as sourcing trends and growth obstacles. Our professionals stay current on manufacturing trends and use this knowledge to better serve our clients.

Real Estate

No matter what your real estate specialty is, you know as well as we do that the real estate market offers a large amount of opportunity. Just as equally, the industry holds a great deal of risk. You can rely on our team of professionals to be extremely knowledgeable about the industry, trends, challenges and changes. Knowing the industry in’s and out’s are one of the many ways our team helps you capitalize on opportunity and minimize risk.

Whether you’re a big fish in the industry or a small fish, Baker Holtz provides you with a wide variety of audit, tax and advisory services within the real estate community.

Specialty Contractors

We know the challenges you face within the trade industry. Specialty subcontractors manage high-risk projects, abide by tight deadlines, manage cash flow and are expected to obtain financial reporting on top of that.

With each project comes a great deal of liability and your finances should not be one of them. Whether you’re in construction, electric or masonry, Baker Holtz has what you need for a financially successful business.

Why Choose Baker Holtz?

Unlike other firms, we believe good service should not be recorded by the hour but rather by results.

Client Testimonials

We understand your expectations and provide quality results.

“Baker Holtz was the right size firm for our company. Big enough to have a full bench and offer what we need and not too big where we are overpaying for things we really don’t need. In addition, Melissa came highly recommended from another business owner.

They let us focus on growing our business and they take care of the tax compliance requirements. In addition, they provide sound advice with regard to our internal books and accounting staff.

I also appreciate BH’s philosophy on billing. It allows me to reach out if I have any questions and not feel like I’m getting nickeled and dimed.”

“I have been a client of Baker Holtz’s for 15 years. I chose Baker Holtz in the beginning because I felt like they were taking the time to learn our needs and the needs of the company. They took the time to listen and meet with me to make sure I was meeting my goals.

As a new business owner they helped me get my books up to the standards they needed to be at for reporting as well as gave me peace of mind. They had the knowledge and depth of experience to help me prepare for growth and to begin to understand and prepare for an exit strategy, even though it was years away. They helped me put concrete structure in place to define and reach my personal goals, professional goals, and goals for the company. “
