Baker Tilly named a top employer of recent graduates

Aligning with one of its overarching goals—to support the communities in which it operates—Baker Tilly reaffirms its commitment to Canadians by hiring and mentoring recent graduates. In recognition of this, the premier accounting firm with offices in both Toronto and Vancouver was named one of Canada’s Top Employers for recent graduates in the 2024 edition of The Career Directory—Canada’s longest-running employment guide for new graduates.

Every year, the editorial team at the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project reviews thousands of employers to determine the academic qualifications they actively seek in young jobseekers. The result is a resource that helps students and new graduates find jobs that make the most of their university degree or college diploma.

“Inclusion in this publication recognizes everything our firm offers young professionals, including significant benefits and HR programs, as well as exciting career advancement opportunities,” says Managing Partner at Baker Tilly, Paul Websdale.

As a training firm, Baker Tilly supports co-operative education programs and provides mentorship during the CPA designation process, while also providing financial support.

“In university, students are taught the theoretical ideas and skills needed when you reach the workforce,” Websdale says. “Working at Baker Tilly puts that learning into practice⁠ with transformative results. We invest in students and recent graduates as a way of giving back to our community, our clients and our profession.”

This is in keeping with Baker Tilly’s core philosophy, which empowers employees to thrive and helps them succeed on whatever path they choose, ensuring they make the progress necessary to achieve their professional objectives.

“When we onboard a new recruit, we proudly invest in their growth potential and professional development,” Websdale says. “Our firm emphasizes promoting from within, ensuring students and recent graduates have an opportunity to evolve and grow with the firm.”

During the selection process, thousands of employers were assessed, and those best positioned to help students and new graduates make the most of their university degree or college diploma were selected.

“At Baker Tilly, we believe in encouraging every member of our team to be true to their values and ambitions, and our placement in The Career Directory recognizes the impact of that vision,” Websdale says. “By championing both individuality and our shared purpose to influence tomorrow, we enable new graduates, seasoned veterans and everyone in between to be part of something more.”
