Challenges

As one of Canada’s most respected audit and advisory firms, Baker Tilly is renowned for its unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and client service. To uphold its high standards, the firm required a powerful and dependable SEDAR and SEC search platform - one that could seamlessly support its in-depth research, regulatory compliance, and due diligence processes. 

Their previous solution had become increasingly unreliable, creating inefficiencies and frustrations that hindered productivity. Recognizing the need for a superior alternative, Baker Tilly sought a robust and intuitive platform that could match the firm’s dedication to accuracy, speed, and client-focused service. They required:

  • Efficiency: Extracting data and insights from change in auditor filings was time-consuming - they needed a faster, more effective method.
  • Reliability: Alerts had become unreliable, creating a need for a platform they could trust to provide timely and accurate updates.
  • Expert Support: Like any high-caliber professional services firm, they occasionally had questions and needed a knowledgeable team to consult with on SEDAR and SEC search and data issues.
  • Trusted Expertise: Already being highly knowledgeable themselves, they sought a provider with the depth of experience and insight necessary to add real value.

The Avantis Solution

With the most experienced team in the industry, Avantis understands the unique needs of Canadian firms when it comes to SEDAR and SEC searching. Baker Tilly needed more than just a platform - they needed a trusted partner to streamline their workflow, enhance efficiency, and deliver high-quality insights. Avantis worked closely with them to ensure a seamless implementation, providing expert guidance and a powerful tool that transformed the way they extract critical data.

“Avantis is an exceptionally powerful tool for uncovering the insights hidden within public filings. By combining advanced search capabilities with AI analysis and utilizing their powerful filters, we’ve significantly streamlined our research process. And perhaps most importantly, we now have peace of mind knowing their robust alert system is always keeping us up to date.”

Key Features Used

Alerts: Avantis delivered the most flexible and intuitive email alert system available, ensuring Baker Tilly never missed a critical update.

Auditor Changes & Audit Fees: Avantis’ ability to distill audit fee and auditor change data rapidly from complex SEDAR filings into actionable insights saved Baker Tilly countless hours of manual review.

100+ Search Criteria: Baker Tilly used powerful, customizable search options to zero in on the most relevant disclosures and commentary—boosting research efficiency and impact.

Implementation Process

Avantis didn’t just provide a platform - it supported and partnered with Baker Tilly, ensuring their team had the tools, training, and support needed to maximize efficiency and extract real value from their searches.

  • Expert Training: Avantis Customer Support Team equipped Baker Tilly’s staff with the skills and confidence to execute precise, effective searches through tailored onboarding sessions.
  • Ongoing Support: Beyond implementation, Avantis provided continuous guidance, meeting regularly to refine search strategies and optimize results based on their needs. 
  • Flexible Data Access: When Baker Tilly needed specific datasets for a limited time, Avantis adapted - offering short-term deals instead of locking them into full-term subscriptions.
  • Lightning-Fast SSO Setup: Avantis’ Single Sign-On (SSO) integration was completed in just 10 minutes - where other platforms often take a week or more.
  • Hands-On Partnership: Avantis even worked directly with a partner at Baker Tilly to help structure and refine a presentation for their internal conference, ensuring the software’s value was clearly communicated internally.

“Avantis met us where we were and showed us how more efficient research could enhance the service we provide our clients. They took the time to listen to our expertise while contributing their own, resulting in an outcome that far exceeds expectations. Their flexibility and collaborative approach to problem-solving have been invaluable.”
