- Caring for our external and internal clients with a passion to go the extra mile.
- Respecting our peers and their individual contributions.
- Conducting ourselves with the highest level of integrity at all times.
- Trusting and supporting one another.
- Being accountable for the overall success of the Firm, not just individual or office success.
- Stretching ourselves to be innovative and creative, while managing the related risks.
- Recognizing the importance of maintaining a balance between work and home life.
- Promoting positive working relationships.
- And, most of all, enjoying our jobs … and having fun!
Company Timeline
Eide Bailly’s journey began in Fargo, N.D., in 1917. The accounting firm Bishop, Brissman & Co. opened an office in Fargo and named John A. Cull as manager. Cull took over sole proprietorship in 1925.
Our namesake Oliver Eide started his career there in 1934, and the firm eventually became Eide Helmeke. Sixteen years later, accountant Charles E. Bailly moved to Fargo in 1950 to open an office for Broeker Hendrickson & Co. of St. Paul, Minn.
In 1978, a group of partners at Broeker Hendrickson withdrew and created their own firm, with Bailly as their leader. The firm was called Charles Bailly & Company.
By the 1990s, Charles Bailly and Eide Helmeke were the major accounting players in the region and much of the upper Midwest. Both ranked in the top 50 accounting firms in the U.S. and were often competing for the same clients and talent. Talks began between the two firms, and it was unanimous: They’d join to become Eide Bailly.
