The Firm History to Now

Our patriarch, John G Hampton, an accounting graduate of KU, working for Peat Marwick in KC, moved back to central Kansas in 1942, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the expansion of the Army’s B-29 Air Bases. Boeing’s Wichita Kansas plant was manufacturing the B-29 Super Fortress, while John and his three brothers Ernest, Tudor, and Bill established multiple offices and collaborated in the professional fields of Income Tax Law and Family Business. The Government was hastily expanding its new 1935 income tax to pay for the war. In 1939, only about 5% of American workers paid income tax. President Roosevelt introduced the Revenue Act of 1942, which assured 75% of American workers would pay income taxes (1942 tax form). The government started having employers withhold money from paychecks. By 1945, about 90% of workers submitted income tax forms, and the government covered nearly half its expenses.

John Hampton founded the Accounting Firm and worked with his brothers to provide help to Farmers and other family business clients who were trying to comply with the new tax laws and regulations. They understood the community and developed strategies for guiding their clients toward success. The current incarnation of that firm carries on its tradition of excellence – as well as a vision for the future. Hampton’s work ethic is the foundation, and unique personal service is the rampart, and our experience is our stock in trade.

While the firm’s roots started with preparing income tax, the business model has undergone significant development. My father JB, would say “At the end of the day, all you have is your name”. In 1990, we branded our company with an “emblem” which pictures the Hampton name positioned on top of another. This represents a business ideology built on the shoulders and integrity of our forefathers. The ampersand (&) embedded inside the Hampton name represents a firm ideology of “Thinking outside the Box”.
