History

Established in 1935.

James E. Wiggins, Sr., an employee of a downtown Columbus furniture store, and his wife Margaret, began preparing income tax returns for Central Ohioans in their home on the near east side of Columbus. It wasn’t long until Mr. Wiggins opened the first J. E. Wiggins & Co. office at the corner of East Main Street and Ohio Avenue.

For 35 years, Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins owned and operated J. E. Wiggins & Co. eventually expanding their services to include bookkeeping and payroll. In the 1960’s they opened several satellite offices to serve even more Central Ohio taxpayers. Finally in 1970, Mr. Wiggins sold his tax preparation business and he and Mrs. Wiggins retired.

During the 1970’s the new owners continued to serve the area and expand the number of offices. In 1980, the business was incorporated as Wiggins Accounting Service, Inc. yet retained the original name of J. E. Wiggins & Co.
