TRUST. CONFIDENCE. PEACE OF MIND.
Boulay works with individuals, closely held businesses and public companies to help assure their financial success. Our focus is to protect your business, build your wealth and secure your future by partnering with you and integrating our depth of experience in accounting, audit, tax, wealth management and business consulting services designed to “help you get there.”
Founded in 1934 by Joseph A. Boulay, today our team consists of more than 300 team members—including 45 partners and over 100 Certified Public Accountants. We’re headquartered in Minnesota but serve clients across the country and around the globe.
As a proudly independent and locally owned firm, we remain committed to prioritizing the well-being of our clients, team members and community. This autonomy allows us to provide objective advice and customized solutions for our clients, fostering stronger relationships built on trust and accountability. For our team members, we’ve cultivated a workplace culture rooted in collaboration, stability, integrity, and purpose—where every team member has a voice in shaping our future. Most importantly, our independence allows us to reinvest directly into local causes and charitable efforts that reflect our values, strengthening the fabric of the communities we serve.
We’ve experienced a long history of steady growth and consistently rank in the top of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal’s Book of Lists for local accounting firms. In 2025, MSPBJ recognized us as the 6th largest firm in Minnesota. Boulay has also been named a Best of the Best CPA firm by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) and was again listed as an IPA Top 100 Firm for 2024.
