ANNIVERSARY
Windes is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026. Since its founding in 1926, the firm has grown from a small local practice into a multi-service organization recognized for its technical excellence, client service, and commitment to the communities it serves.
Over the past century, Windes has expanded its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of businesses, nonprofits, retirement plans, and individuals across the world. Today, the firm provides a broad suite of services that include audit and assurance, tax, client advisory services, transaction advisory services, human capital consulting, and technology and risk solutions. This milestone reflects the strength of the firm’s people, culture, and long-standing dedication to helping clients navigate complexity with clarity.
“Windes’ centennial is both a celebration of the past and a reflection of our continued investment in the future,” said Sean McFerson, Managing Partner at Windes. “Our founders built this firm on the belief that integrity, service, and relationships matter. Those values continue to guide us as we look ahead to the next chapter of our growth.”
As Windes marks 100 years in business, the firm has grown in step with the needs of its clients, demonstrating resilience through economic shifts, technological change, and the expanding complexity of the business landscape. From its earliest days as a small Long Beach practice to its current presence serving clients across the country and around the world, the firm has built its reputation on independence, adaptability, and the pursuit of excellence. As Windes begins its next century, it continues to draw strength from this legacy while looking ahead to new opportunities to serve clients with clarity, expertise, and unwavering dedication.
Founded on a philosophy of giving back, Windes believes in making an impact on the community that goes beyond the professional services they provide. Staying true to its core value of “Serve Our Communities,” Windes has been consistently recognized by the Orange County Business Journal as a “Company that Cares” and by OneOC as a “Civic 50 Orange County.”
“As we celebrate 100 years, community impact and a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to who we are as a firm,” says Windes Managing Parter Sean McFerson. “Our team’s passion for volunteerism and philanthropy reflects not only our values, but our shared responsibility to create a lasting, positive impact in the communities we serve.”
