Baker Milligan CPA's

Baker Milligan CPA's is an accounting practice that takes over the bookkeeping, payroll and tax work of businesses too small to justify an in-house accountant. The firm positions itself as an external finance team for medium-sized and developing companies, pairing routine record-keeping with advisory help.
