Oakley has spent the entirety of her professional accounting career serving on the Brady Martz team. She was an intern with the Firm while still in college and then joined the team full time in 2013. Oakley’s diligence and hard work resulted in a speedy upward trajectory within the Firm. She now serves as a Principal where she works primarily in assisting clients with the various aspects of estate planning, including understanding different types of trust entities, managing the compliance filings required upon the death of a loved one, and navigating estate taxes.

A dependable professional, Oakley knows that actions speak louder than words, so she aims to provide top-notch service to clients by being reliable, approachable, and willing to help others learn. She attributes her success in the field to the work ethic that her parents instilled in her and to the lessons taught to her by her teachers, coaches, and mentors.

Oakley lives in Dickinson, North Dakota, which she enjoys for its big-city conveniences but small-town feel. “The Dickinson community offers an array of activities to keep me entertained, and I usually run into someone I know every day,” she explains.
