Educational Institutions

Wolf & Company understands that it is crucial for your institution to work with a firm that has a thorough knowledge of the unique aspects of your accounting and reporting issues. The current economic climate and new regulatory issues have presented educational institutions with complex operating issues and numerous challenges including decreased endowment income, reduced public and private funding, and liquidity concerns.

Our professionals have extensive experience in the issues that are important to public and private colleges and universities, as well as independent schools. We understand your challenges and provide thoughtful and timely guidance through a range of proactive and responsive audit, tax and advisory services. For Institutions with international campus locations, our affiliation with PKF International gives us access to a network of 245 legally independent firms in 125 countries.
