Barlow & Hughan LLP is an independent local Certified Public Accounting firm dedicated to providing the highest quality accounting and tax services, usually associated only with the largest firms, while at the same time offering the personal attention and continuity that can generally be found only in smaller local firms.

Barlow & Hughan LLP, although founded in 1990, can trace its origins to 1946 when Barlow, Davis, & Wood was established. Barlow, Davis, & Wood was one of the larger local San Francisco accounting firms at the time, with a professional staff of nearly twenty-five. The 'Barlow' of that firm was Wm. P. Barlow, Sr., whose son William Jr. joined the practice in 1960 after three years with a "Big Eight" firm, was made partner in 1964, and is still with the firm today. Barlow & Hughan has been fortunate in retaining many clients of Barlow, Davis, & Wood to this day. Indeed one individual, a 1906 San Francisco earthquake survivor, was a client until her death a few years ago at the age of 104.
