The award will be presented and Tim will be honored at the 2017 Winning is Everything conference.

Timothy Christen is Chairman and CEO of Baker Tilly Virchow Krouse, LLP (Baker Tilly). With more than 2,500 employees, Baker Tilly is the 13^th largest accounting firm in the nation. In addition to serving Baker Tilly, Tim currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of the American Institute of CPAs, an organization with more than 412,000 members.

“Tim has truly been one of the great visionaries of our profession. He led the efforts to transform a small Madison, Wisconsin CPA firm into a national (and global) powerhouse. Part of his legacy, though, would be his part in developing other Baker Tilly leaders around him through his exceptional coaching and mentoring skills. Tim is all about ‘giving back’ and that is most evident in his current leadership role as Chairman of the AICPA.” states Allan Koltin, Koltin Consulting Group.
