Higgins Fairbairn & Co was founded in 1986 and has since developed a loyal client base of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) - mainly proprietor-managed businesses. In addition, the practice also acts for UK subsidiaries of large international groups plus private individuals who require independent tax advice and/or financial advice.
We offer a broad range of services providing innovative, accessible and practical advice whilst meeting the increasing burden of compliance. We pride ourselves on marrying professionalism and informality and ensure that a senior practitioner is involved in every matter.
Higgins Fairbairn & Co is an Approved Training Practice (ATP) for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). We are proud of the numerous trainees who have joined as affiliates (having passed all the exams) and, after three years of extensive training in all the requisite areas, have become qualified ACCAs.
