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.  In 1970, Mr. Wiggins sold his tax preparation business and with his wife 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.  Throughout the 1980's, 1990's and still today, J. E. Wiggins & Co. has been a locally owned business - not a franchise and not part of a national chain - with five convenient offices ready to serve their clients. It has been 75 years since J. E. Wiggins & Co. began preparing income tax returns and our goal has always been to provide the best tax service possible, guaranteed accurate returns and for a most reasonable fee.  We truly value our clients' loyalty - to have served so many clients for so long reflects their trust in us and for that we are most grateful.
