History

The firm began in 1923 with William Baird, Wade Kurtz and Claire Dobson opening offices in Kansas City and Joplin, Missouri, after the disbandment of the Montgomery Firm, where the three had been employed.[4]

The firm created its first wholly owned subsidiary, BKD Corporate Finance, LLC, in 1994 and passed the $100 million revenue mark in 1999.

On October 1, 2013 BKD acquired Malin Bergquist & Co, LLP, a firm that was previously based in Erie, Pennsylvania.[5]

As of November 1, 2014, Wolf & Company officially became a part of BKD through the result of a merger.[6]
