Bringing certainty to the uncertain
Wherever our clients are in their journey, they know and trust that we are always there. Guiding, advising, solving, listening, understanding. We are an extension of their office – highly regarded and valued. Our clients stay with us generation after generation – we continue to unravel complexity and bring certainty to their worlds.
We exist to understand our clients’ needs, and their business, making it our absolute focus to foresee, plan for, and navigate challenges and complexity. Guiding our purpose - in fact everything we do - are three important values that sit at our core.
Seek the solution
Solve together
Be curious
Seek the solution
Our focus as a firm will always be to solve the challenges for the clients we serve. We’re hungry to find answers, deal with change confidently and are absolutely focused on doing the best we can for them. That’s why we encourage a proactive and autonomous approach to how we do business.
Solve together
We know that the answer may not always be obvious, so we adopt an open and collaborative environment with our colleagues, co-professionals and clients and in order to find it together. At the centre of everything we do is the belief that better knowledge leads to better outcomes. We’re inclusive, supportive and open minded as a team.
Be curious
People are at the heart of what we do. Taking interest in what’s important to our clients and our team is in our nature. We don’t stand still or become stagnant - we encourage new thinking and new ideas to move us forwards. We’re eager to keep learning as this allows us to grow.
As a firm, we depend on having great people. People who are able to solve the complex challenges of our clients, and keep up with the pace of how we operate.
Our story so far
Nathaniel Dixon and his son John put up their plate at 28 Basinghall Street. The Institute of Chartered Accountants was formed 8 years earlier.
Nathaniel Dixon’s nephew, James Wilson, joins the partnership. Total annual fees are about £2,000. Many early clients are textile or general merchant businesses.
Nathaniel Dixon is drowned in the shipwreck of the “Stella”. His son John also dies in the same year.
Sydney Tubbs joins the partnership. He is with the firm for 33 years before retiring and is known as an expert accountant and ahead of his time.
On demobilisation, Harold Gillett MC joins the partnership. He is with the firm for 48 years and develops a reputation as the leading “Company Doctor”. He later becomes Lord Mayor of London.
Kingsley Tubbs joins the firm after rowing in the winning boat for Cambridge three years running. He wins the Gold Medal in his final accountancy examination (many similar prizes have been won by staff over the years) and retires after 45 years with the firm.
James Spooner, a partner of the firm, is put in charge of The Beatles partnership as a result of an action filed by Paul McCartney.
Dixon Wilson turns 100 and leaves the Basinghall Street area for the first time, moving to Rotherwick House just east of St Katherine Docks.
After 20 years in Rotherwick House, the firm returns to the City and settles in Chancery Lane.
Dixon Wilson has changed a lot since 1888, but we are still as focused as ever on guiding our clients through the challenges they face.
