Wipfli/Joseph Eve, Certified Public Accountants is an American accounting firm employing approximately 70 professionals and operating across 28 states. Concentrating primarily on tribal accounting, this specialized sector represents about 95% of the firm's workload, supporting nearly 60 of the 290 federally recognized Native American tribes. Established in 1985 by Joseph Eve and headquartered in Billings, Montana, the company merged with Milwaukee-based Wipfli—a leading top 20 US accounting and consulting firm—on October 1, 2017.
The firm's proficiency encompasses tribal, gaming, governmental accounting, and auditing services. It has played a prominent role in significant industry forums, including providing testimony before the United States Senate Committee on Indian Affairs concerning regulations on online gaming. Partner Grant Eve has acted as an expert witness during congressional sessions addressing the effects of internet gaming on tribal communities.
Wipfli/Joseph Eve has made notable contributions to the National Indian Gaming Association’s whitepapers focused on internet gaming and continues to shape advancements in tribal gaming accounting technology and regulatory frameworks. Additionally, the firm offers guidance on state online lottery accounting and tribal financial strategies. In 2012, its partners addressed the National Indian Gaming Association Subcommittee on Internet Gaming, highlighting the expanding role of internet-based gaming platforms such as Facebook UK's iGaming slots and MGM Resorts' MyVegas on Facebook.
Prominent partners include Joseph Eve, Todd Timboe, Tiffany Madden, and Grant Eve. Prior to the merger, the firm generated revenues near $11 million and preserves its identity as "The Tribal Solutions Provider."
Gaming
Originally centered on governmental auditing, the firm has expanded its capabilities to include accounting services related to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which heightened demand for auditing and established regulatory standards for tribal gaming enterprises.
In July 2012, Joseph Eve delivered a presentation at the Great Plains Conference regarding the Department of Justice's 2011 ruling affirming that state-operated online lotteries are lawful.
By 2013, Wipfli/Joseph Eve collaborated with gaming software developer Newave to introduce NWJE University—an online educational platform aimed at training casino personnel in Title 31 compliance requirements.
