This page summarises what Baker Tilly Channel Islands says it does, taken from its own website on 5 September 2026. It is a reference entry, not a review: we have not worked with them and we do not rank the firms in this directory.

Baker Tilly Channel Islands publishes its services as broad headings — Audit and assurance, Business and regulatory advisory, Regulatory advice and assurance, IT advisory & assurance, Digital assets & blockchain services, Financial reporting services, Tax and Valuations — rather than as specific jobs. A firm describing itself that way may well do bookkeeping, payroll and GST returns; the list simply does not say. Treat the dashes above as unanswered, not as noes, and ask them directly.
A note on the length of that list
Baker Tilly Channel Islands publishes 8 separate service lines. Breadth on a website is a claim about the firm, not about the person who would be assigned to you, and the two come apart most often at the small end of a large firm's client book. Worth asking who specifically would handle the work and what else sits on their desk.

Qualifications
The firm states: ICAEW, Recognised auditor in Jersey and Guernsey. Professional body membership is worth confirming directly — it governs what work a firm can sign off, and statutory audit in particular requires specific recognition.
The clients they are built for
Regulated and financial services entities needing statutory audit and regulatory assurance work.
What the network membership means
Being part of an international network changes who a firm is built for. It buys reach — group reporting, cross-border tax, regulated and fund clients, and the capacity to sign off work that an island practice cannot.
It also sets the price floor. A sole trader or a five-person company is rarely who this kind of firm is structured for, and being turned down or quoted out of range is not a judgement on your business.

Where we fit

We do monthly bookkeeping, payroll, GST returns and management accounts for Jersey businesses on a fixed monthly fee. We are not auditors and not a chartered firm — if that is what you need, Baker Tilly Channel Islands or another firm here will serve you better and we will say so.
