1911
PRIDE OF BOSTON
Wolf & Company’s history spans over a century, starting with Edwin Pride, who founded Edwin L. Pride & Company in Boston after receiving one of the first CPA licenses from the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy. As a Trustee of the Somerville Institution for Savings, he established a strong foundation in financial services and community banking, paving the way for our legacy of excellence.
1920
Uncovering Ponzi
The U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts entrusted Edwin Pride with investigating Charles Ponzi, the infamous con artist behind the “Ponzi Scheme.” Pride’s unwavering professionalism and integrity became the foundation of our firm’s culture. Today, our leaders continue this legacy with a fierce commitment to remaining independent, serving on influential industry boards – including the AICPA Center for Audit Quality and the PCAOB – and holding key positions such as president of the MSCPA.
