John Nealon
Team Leader
Baker Tilly Advantage Pennsylvania
As Team Leader for Baker Tilly Advantage- Pennsylvania, Nealon is responsible for ensuring Baker Tilly delivers all the firm’s capabilities and resources to its clients. He also develops and grows the firm’s Pennsylvania client accounting services practice, which includes full outsourcing of clients’ accounting departments.
He took over the position in June of 2020, transitioning from managing partner of Baker Tilly’s Greater Pennsylvania practice. He has been with the firm for over my 36 years.
During his tenure with Baker Tilly, Nealon is proud of helping family owned businesses, protect and enhance their value. His efforts have been recognized by The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. “The economic impact of these businesses is critical to our local economy. I am proud to have helped them,” he said.
Life lessons he’s learned: Challenges are going to come your way. Face them head on. Work the problem. Stay calm and work it in steps. Use your support system/network; there is no need to go it alone.
For fun, he enjoys anything that involves his family. “In the spring, we get together for the annual Scranton St Patrick’s Day Parade. During the summer, we love spending time in Stone Harbor, NJ. In the fall, we take in a Notre Dame Football game. In the winter, we’re all together for the Holidays,” Nealon said.
