Baker Tilly to acquire Sockeye to expand Sage Intacct capabilities, construction industry focus

June 18, 2025 (CHICAGO) —Leading advisory, tax and assurance firm Baker Tilly announces its intent to acquire Sockeye, a top Sage Intacct partner recognized for its deep industry expertise and technology-enabled finance, accounting and project management solutions. The acquisition significantly enhances Baker Tilly’s Sage Intacct capabilities and accelerates its strategic focus on the construction sector — a market facing urgent demand for scalable, cloud-based financial systems that deliver real-time visibility and efficiency.

Sockeye brings award-winning implementation experience and specialization across construction, real estate, not-for-profit organizations, oil and gas, and Alaska Native Corporations. This combination gives clients access to one of the most robust Sage Intacct teams in the market, offering faster implementations, more tailored solutions and deeper industry insight — especially for businesses navigating complex project cycles and financial reporting needs.

“Sockeye brings outstanding Sage Intacct capabilities and a sharp focus on the construction and real estate industries — areas where our clients are experiencing significant transformation,” said Ann Blakely, managing principal of Baker Tilly Digital. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver purpose-built solutions at scale, helping clients modernize critical financial systems, improve cash flow and make faster, data-driven decisions.”

In March, Baker Tilly announced its collaboration with Sage to offer Sage Intacct Construction to construction firms across the United Kingdom and Ireland — a market facing urgent pressures to digitize operations and enhance real-time financial oversight. With Sockeye’s proven success serving construction and real estate clients, Baker Tilly is now positioned to scale rapidly in this region and deliver the insight, implementation expertise and industry guidance that construction firms need.

“Sage Intacct is a cornerstone of our cloud ERP strategy, and we’re proud to be one of its leading partners,” said Susan Vincent, Baker Tilly’s Sage Intacct solutions practice leader. “Sockeye’s proven track record and depth in the Sage ecosystem enhances our ability to deliver powerful, industry-tailored solutions. Their hands-on implementation experience and alignment with Sage best practices help our clients realize faster time to value, especially in complex sectors like construction and real estate.”

Based in Anchorage, Alaska, Sockeye supports more than 2,000 businesses across the U.S. and Canada. As a top Sage value-added reseller (VAR), Sockeye is known for its client-first approach and ability to help organizations optimize processes, integrate critical systems and gain actionable financial insights.
