In 1959, James Harrison McGuire, CPA, joined his father to form the partnership McGuire & McGuire. At this time, James (Jim) had completed two years in the Houston office of the national firm, Ernst & Ernst, (now Ernst & Young).
During the next fifteen years, other partners joined and left the firm. In September of 1976, the firm admitted its first female partner. Debra Glover McGuire, CPA, joined her husband, Jim, to once again form the partnership McGuire & McGuire.
