We're a Baker Tilly network member
About Baker Tilly
We know how important a good network is for a great business and a great career. That’s why we have the Critical Point Network (CPN), a free professional membership and referral network for people in professional services.
Navigating complexity

The accounting and legal professions are constantly evolving. It can be challenging to stay on top of policy, technical updates and industry trends. CPN helps to connect you with the right people, so you can deliver the best outcomes for clients, whatever they might need.

Training sessions, technical briefings and networking opportunities will help keep your skills up to date while building professional connections. If you need advice outside your immediate area of expertise, you can connect with a Pitcher Partners expert for one-to-one support.

Membership features

  • Professional events, including technical briefings, conferences and regional roadshows
  • Networking opportunities, including forums and social events
