Founded by Jaycees ‘Man of the Year’ Joseph H Hanchrow in 1937. The Joseph H. Hanchrow Company distinguished itself as a top accounting firm in the Wilson NC area, attracting the top businesses from Wilson and other nearby cities.

As it grew, the need for attracting top talent became key to its future success. In 1961 Hanchrow hired accounting savant Hilda G. Watson, who quickly worked her way up to the top. Just 3 years prior to his passing, Hanchrow sold the firm to Hilda G. Watson in 1991 just before she finished her 30th year with the firm. Watson renamed the firm to her own name.

Knowing she needed the best help, Watson hired tax master, AJ Charbonneau in 1994, who proved to be an invaluable mainstay to the firm. In 2021 AJ was promoted to manager and Watson retired.

Today the Hilda G. Watson firm remains committed to Hanchrow’s original philosophy, to only hire the best and brightest accountants, so we can best serve the interest of our clients!
