Saint and Co, founded in Carlisle, is celebrating its 140th anniversary with a number of events.
The firm was founded in 1884 at 10 Bank Street in Carlisle by John Jackson Saint.
To celebrate the firm will hold a Victorian-themed fancy dress event at which they will be raising money for its chosen charity of the year.
The firm now operates across Cumbria and Dumfries and Galloway, with 109 members of staff across 10 offices being guided by a board of nine partners.
Lindsay Farrer, managing partner, said: “It is hard not to be inspired by the story of our founding partner, John Jackson Saint, who at the age of 20 moved to Carlisle and within three years had opened his accountancy practice.
“His well-documented work ethic was remarkable and we like to think we continue to embody this in everything we do 140 years on. With our headquarters just a couple of miles from where it all started, Saint and Co still feels very much connected to its roots, laid all those years ago by a young man with ambition, drive and energy.”
She added: “Our history and heritage is a daily reminder of the principles this business was founded upon and that we strive to uphold every day. Over time, the baton of responsibility has been passed to various people and along with my fellow managing partners, I see working at Saint and Co as a privilege. We are looking forward to (whatever the celebration is) and to many more years of successful business.”
