Who We Are
Eide Bailly is a nationally ranked accounting and advisory firm bringing financial, operational, and technical solutions to middle market and high-growth organizations.
Eide Bailly has once again been recognized by the Accounting MOVE Project, earning a place on its 2026 Best Firms for Equity Leadership list. The annual recognition highlights firms where women represent at least 31% of partners and principals, a level the Accounting MOVE Project identifies as an important point for meaningful representation in firm leadership.
Women represent 32% of Eide Bailly’s partners and principals in the 2026 Accounting MOVE Project findings. The recognition reflects Eide Bailly’s ongoing work to create opportunities for women to build their careers and contribute to leadership across the firm.
“We want our people to have opportunities to grow, lead, and build meaningful careers at Eide Bailly,” said Lisa Fitzgerald, Chief Human Resources Officer at Eide Bailly. “Recognition like this is important because it gives us an opportunity to see where we’re making progress while continuing to look closely at where we can do better.”
This year’s Accounting MOVE Project, “Caught in the Middle,” examines how caregiving responsibilities affect career advancement, particularly for experienced professionals balancing work with caring for children, aging parents, or both. Across participating firms, 47% reported seeing caregiving slow advancement toward promotion or partnership, while 76% said the career impact of caregiving falls mostly on women.
The research also looks beyond whether flexible work options are available to examine what happens to employees’ careers when they use them. Among the firms surveyed, only 24% reported having a formal, documented alternative path to partnership, highlighting the importance of creating clear career paths that can adapt as employees’ circumstances change.
For Eide Bailly, the findings reinforce the importance of providing opportunities for people to continue developing their skills and careers through different stages of their lives. Supporting career growth takes more than offering programs or policies. It also requires looking at whether people have meaningful opportunities to gain experience, take on leadership responsibilities, and advance within the firm.
Since 2010, the Accounting MOVE Project has measured and supported the advancement of women at accounting and consulting firms. Its MOVE methodology examines four factors that influence women’s career success: Money, Opportunity, Vital Supports, and Entrepreneurship.
