Top 10 accounting firm Baker Tilly said Wednesday it’s set to acquire Anchorage, AK-based Sockeye, a top Sage Intacct partner recognized for its vast construction industry expertise and technology-enabled finance, accounting, and project management solutions. 

Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Chicago-based Baker Tilly said the acquisition significantly enhances its Sage Intacct capabilities and accelerates its strategic focus on the construction sector, a market facing demand for scalable, cloud-based financial systems that deliver real-time visibility and efficiency.

Founded in 2007, Sockeye has specialized teams that serve the construction, real estate, and oil and gas industries; not-for-profit organizations; and Alaska Native Corporations. Baker Tilly said the 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,” Ann Blakely, managing principal of Baker Tilly Digital, said in a statement. “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 onboard, Baker Tilly is now positioned to grow rapidly in this region and deliver insight, implementation expertise, and industry guidance to construction firms.

“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.”

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

“Our team is proud to join Baker Tilly—a firm that shares our commitment to innovation, people-first values, and delivering results,” Sockeye CEO Nick Brorson said. “This combination enables us to bring our specialized expertise to a broader stage, helping clients around the world implement and optimize the technology they need to grow with confidence.”
