What BKD LLP does

BKD LLP, now operating as Forvis Mazars US, is a US member firm of the Forvis Mazars Group international network, providing professional services across assurance, tax, and consulting to mid-market and large enterprises. The firm traces its origins to 1923 and now operates with 5,001-10,000 employees across US offices, serving organizations in healthcare and life sciences, financial services, private equity, real estate, nonprofit, education, manufacturing, dealerships, construction, technology, media and telecommunications, energy and natural resources, and private client segments. Named enterprise engagements include revenue cycle and AI advisory work with Yale New Haven Health.

The firm monetizes primarily through professional services engagements (assurance, tax, and consulting billed on fixed-fee, hourly, or retainer models) and a secondary stream of subscription or licensed proprietary software products including LeaseVision (ASC 842 / IFRS 16 lease accounting), HFS+ (healthcare finance), LoanPricingPRO (banking analytics), SALT Explorer (state and local tax), IntegraReport (forensics), ProBank Advisor, Pulse (business intelligence), Physical Climate Risk Dashboard, Denials Management Monitoring, SNF Rate Calculator, and Workforce Productivity Manager. Go-to-market is relationship-based, with senior partners and industry-specialized teams selling directly into enterprise accounts; thought leadership is distributed through FORsights articles, podcasts, webinars, and industry conferences such as GFOA and CHC Boot Camp.

In 2024 BKD LLP merged with Mazars and rebranded to Forvis Mazars US, joining the Forvis Mazars Group international network for cross-border capability. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership with no public listing and no venture or private equity ownership evidenced in available materials. Strategic activity has been active, with four disclosed acquisitions between 2016 and 2021 and ongoing investment in proprietary technology products and an AI Strategy & Integration consulting line.
