CHICAGO (Jan. 7, 2026) — Baker Tilly, a leading advisory, tax and assurance firm, today announced that Eric Miles has assumed the role of chief executive officer, succeeding Jeff Ferro. Miles’ succession was previously announced in connection with the firm’s combination with Moss Adams in June. He now leads Baker Tilly as it continues to redefine advisory and accounting services for mid-market clients.

“For more than 20 years, Eric has delivered exceptional leadership,” said Jeff Ferro, outgoing CEO of Baker Tilly. “He understands what our clients and our people need as the firm continues to evolve, and I have full confidence in his ability to lead Baker Tilly forward. It has been a privilege to serve as CEO, and I’m excited about what lies ahead for the firm.”

Miles brings a deep and broad range of experience to the role. He began his career in public accounting in 1997, gaining experience across operations, compliance, accounting, information technology and fraud prevention. He later led the consulting services organization at Moss Adams, overseeing more than 50 practice areas, before serving as CEO.

“I’m honored and excited to lead Baker Tilly at a moment when our clients face accelerating change — from economic conditions and a changing supply chain environment to digital disruption and talent pressures,” said Miles. “My focus is on ensuring Baker Tilly continues to bring the right capabilities, talent and perspective to support clients as they adapt and pursue growth, while building on the strong foundation established by Jeff and the leadership team.”

“Jeff’s leadership helped position Baker Tilly for its next phase of growth,” said Blake Kleinman, partner at Hellman & Friedman and chair of the Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP board of directors. “Eric brings the experience, perspective and leadership style the firm needs at this moment, and his appointment reflects our continued commitment to investing in talent, innovation and long-term client success.”

As CEO, Miles will focus on strengthening execution across the firm — aligning

strategy and operations to support client needs and drive disciplined growth. He will work closely with the leadership team to ensure Baker Tilly scales effectively while maintaining its culture and high service standards.

Ferro will continue to serve on the Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP board of directors.
