Grand Forks, N.D.-based IPA 100 firm Brady Martz & Associates (FY23 net revenue of $57.4 million) announces that Jeffrey Pawlow has joined the firm as chief execution officer. In this role, Pawlow will be instrumental in aligning day-to-day activities advancing the firm’s Vision 2028 initiative, as well as promoting that vision to other CPA firms seeking growth alternatives to private equity.
Pawlow brings more than 30 years of experience in the accounting profession, with a proven track record of driving financial results and fostering growth. Before joining Brady Martz, he served as president of Engineered Tax Services (ETS) and its family of companies, including The Growth Partnership, ABLE, INSIDE Public Accounting and Engineered Technology Services. Pawlow co-founded The Growth Partnership and ABLE before they were acquired by ETS.
“Jeff’s extensive experience and visionary approach align perfectly with our strategic goals,” said Stacy DuToit, COO/CEO-elect of Brady Martz. “We are confident that his leadership will be pivotal in driving our Vision 2028 initiative forward and further solidifying Brady Martz as a leader in the accounting profession.”
A seasoned CPA growth expert, Pawlow is also a respected speaker and author, recognized for his thought leadership and innovative strategies.
“I’ve had the chance to look under the hood of many of the leading accounting firms in the U.S. in my prior roles. Given that perspective, I can honestly say that Brady Martz is unique when compared to their Top 100 peers,” Pawlow said. “A dedicated C-suite of functional experts allows our shareholders to focus on driving client value in proactive ways rarely seen in other firms. This robust infrastructure also helps position Brady Martz as a legitimate alternative to private equity for firms looking to excel in a market that gets more competitive each day. I look forward to writing the next chapter of my career at Brady Martz and officially becoming a shareholder on October 1.”
