Q&A With Shareholder Amy Haagenson
As the Construction & Real Estate Practice Segment Lead at Brady Martz, Amy Haagenson, CPA, brings decades of industry insight and practical expertise to clients navigating the complexities of construction and real estate. We sat down with Amy to discuss how Brady Martz supports businesses in building not only the communities we live in and the roads we drive drive on — but lasting success. Q: What makes running a construction or real estate business especially challenging today?
Amy Haagenson: The industry is incredibly dynamic. Contractors and developers are dealing with tight margins, labor shortages, supply chain fluctuations, and constant pressure on cash flow. These challenges demand not just technical know-how, but also smart strategy and sound financial guidance. Q: How does Brady Martz tailor its services to meet the unique needs of this industry?

With nearly a century of experience working with general contractors, subcontractors, homebuilders, architects, engineers, and developers, we understand the full lifecycle of a construction or real estate business. Whether you’re facing job costing complexities or planning an ownership transition, we’re equipped to guide you every step of the way. Q: What specific services do you offer that help clients strengthen their operations? Amy: Our core services include audits, tax planning and mitigation, job cost analysis, strategic planning, and valuation services. We also help clients tap into energy incentives like 179D and 45L, explore ESOPs, and prepare for mergers and acquisitions. The goal is always the same — helping clients increase profitability and reduce risk. Q: How does Brady Martz go beyond traditional accounting support? Amy: We take a high-touch, proactive approach. That means on-site visits, tailored consulting, and direct involvement from senior team members. We want to help our clients grow by giving them tools to better understand their costs, improve efficiency, and manage their cash flow strategically. Q: What’s your ultimate goal for clients in this industry? Amy: We want our clients to thrive — not just survive.
