BKD, LLP, a top-tier U.S. CPA and advisory firm, helps people and businesses realize their goals.

Whether your needs include the highest level of assurance, such as an audit for a publicly traded company, or you simply need assistance with bookkeeping or keeping up with the latest changes, BKD can help.

Whether you’re looking for managed services like outsourcing your accounting function, or assistance in streamlining operations, BKD has tailored solutions to help your small business or nonprofit succeed. The expertise of our professionals is backed by industry credentials and client success stories. We go beyond simply managing the books. Our trusted advisors understand the complex tax, audit, and financial challenges of your business and can provide high-level guidance to help you make informed decisions.

BKD's National Director of Assurance Services is charged with advancing our approach to audit through innovations in our methodology and is supported by using new technologies. Audit innovation or modernization is a hot topic firms are addressing and clients want to understand so that they can have confidence their firm is bringing the best available tools and ideas to the process.

When assurance needs are limited, clients look to BKD for compilation or preparation services, rather than a review or an audit. In both services, BKD helps management prepare a financial statement, and in neither service is any assurance or opinion provided.

BKD prepares thousands of tax returns annually for individuals, businesses, trusts, and tax-exempt entities. Beyond our compliance services, we provide a variety of tax planning and consulting services.

BKD Capital Advisors—our investment banking arm—is dedicated to helping companies and stockholders enhance their value and meet their investment banking objectives. Our top-notch team of investment bankers, associates, and financial analysts has decades of experience helping company owners plan for and execute their growth and exit strategies.
