DiSanto, Priest & Co. was named winner of The American Institute of CPAs 2014 Public Service Award for Firms in recognition of its charitable work in communities throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
“The commitment to public service extends far beyond the leadership at DiSanto, Priest & Co.,” said James Curry, chair of the awards committee, who presented the honor at a ceremony held recently in Washington, D.C. “It is deeply embedded throughout the firm’s culture.”
Through its charitable arm, The Bentley Foundation, the firm has contributed more than $238,000 and donated countless hours of services in kind to a variety of Southern New England charities, such as Jake’s Wheels, The Impossible Dream, The J. Arthur Trudeau Center, The American Heart Association, and The Artic Mission, to name only a few.
“We are corporate citizens in Southern New England, yes, but we are also community citizens. Our charitable work is a reflection of our commitment to the place our employees call home.” said Emilio Colapietro, managing partner of DiSanto, Priest & Co.
Not only did DiSanto, Priest & Co.’s employees donate their time and money, they flexed their muscles as well – pulling a 146,000-pound Fed Ex jet at T.F. Green Airport to raise money for the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. The firm has also hosted game nights, wings and chili cook-offs, dress down days, and members of its professional staff serve on boards of non-profit organizations throughout the state.
The annual AICPA award honors one firm that has demonstrated outstanding public service throughout the country. A list of previous winners can be found on the AICPA’s Member Awards page.
