An Accounting Firm That Matches Where You Are Financially

Fairhope attracts people who have built something — careers, businesses, investment portfolios, property holdings, and family wealth worth protecting. What they often find is that most accounting firms are set up for basic compliance work, not for the kind of forward-looking planning that actually makes a difference at this stage of life. At Kilgore, Brown & Brittain, we work with individuals and business owners in Fairhope who want a CPA firm that can think beyond the return.

 

Our services span tax planning and compliance, estate planning, real estate and property accounting, and consulting for small businesses and professional practices. Whether you are managing a growing real estate portfolio along the Eastern Shore, navigating a business transition, or planning how to transfer wealth to the next generation, we bring the experience and the personal relationship to do it well.

 

We serve Fairhope clients across a range of needs, including:

 

  • Individual tax planning for higher-income earners and dual-income households
  • Estate planning and wealth transfer strategies
  • Real estate and rental property accounting
  • Small business tax planning and compliance
  • Bookkeeping and payroll for owner-operated businesses
  • Business succession and consulting for professional service firms

Why Fairhope Residents and Business Owners Work With Us

Finding an accounting firm that genuinely understands individual and estate planning needs — not just basic tax preparation — is harder than it should be. We built our practice around exactly that gap. Our team works closely with clients to understand the full scope of their financial situation before making any recommendation, and we maintain those relationships year after year rather than treating each tax season as a fresh transaction.

 

What sets our firm apart for Fairhope clients:

 

  • Dedicated estate planning services designed for individuals with meaningful assets to protect and transfer
  • Individual tax planning that accounts for investment income, property holdings, retirement accounts, and life transitions
  • Real estate and property accounting experience relevant to the Eastern Shore market
  • A firm small enough to know you by name, with the technical depth to handle complex returns and multi-entity structures
  • Virtual service capability — we work with clients throughout the region without requiring in-person visits for every engagement
