Ford joins Egan after more than 15 years in public accounting working as Business Partner with Eide Bailly LLP providing accounting, audit, tax, and consulting services to clients in various industries. Additionally, he has served as a department leader and has experience in strategic planning, succession planning, and educating others on utilizing business metrics as a way to improve operations and performance.

“We are excited to have someone of James’ caliber join us at Egan,” said Jim Malecha, Egan Company President and CEO. “Not only does James have the technical skills and knowledge to succeed as CFO, he also has a dynamic personality that fits our culture and will integrate well with our business groups and leadership team.”

Ford received his bachelor of science in accounting from North Dakota State University and is a Certified Public Accountant. He also volunteers as a board member for Minnesota-based nonprofit, Dads Make a Difference.

Ford succeeds Jim Johnson, who will retire this spring after 14 years as Egan Company Chief Financial Officer.
