It all began in 1927.

Edward W. Brady established his accounting firm in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Baldwin Martz, who worked for Brady for a period, later moved to Minot, North Dakota, and, alongside his wife Shirley, founded Baldwin Martz & Associates. In 1981, the two firms merged to form Brady Martz, setting the stage for decades of growth and expansion.
