Our core values – Stewardship, Trust, Respect, Integrity, Value, and Excellence – come together to form STRIVE, a powerful expression of how we work, lead, and grow together.

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.
