The growth of one of the nation’s largest tax, advisory and assurance firms is bringing together two established, Pennsylvania-based employee benefits organizations. It was announced today that Walker Benefits and Baker Tilly Vantagen will combine forces and operate as Baker Tilly Vantagen LLC.

In November 2021, Baker Tilly US LLP acquired Arnett Carbis Toothman, LLP along with its subsidiaries, which included Walker Benefits. At the time of this acquisition, Baker Tilly Vantagen had already been operating as a Baker Tilly subsidiary. The company has been in business since 1997. It focuses upon delivering high touch HR consulting and benefits administration support services to a diverse set of employers.

Since 1989, Walker Benefits has worked with financial advisors and plan administrators to implement meaningful employer retirement plan offerings. The combined entities share earned reputations of professional excellence and a demonstrated commitment to continuous client service. Together, they offer employers expanded services and integrated solutions that cut across a wider swath of the employee benefits spectrum.

“We are looking forward to working with our new colleagues at Walker
Benefits who share our approach and dedication to serving our clients,” said Kim Wylam, Baker Tilly Vantagen’s Managing Partner. “This combination will allow us to provide enhanced services and our shared vision and strategy will create additional opportunities for our clients and team members.”
