CPA institute recognizes DiSanto, Priest & Co.

WASHINGTON – The American Institute of CPAs last week recognized Warwick-based CPA firm DiSanto, Priest & Co. for its community commitment, according to a press release.
The Institute awarded the Warwick firm with the 2014 Public Service Award for Firms and James Curry, chair of the awards committee, lauded the company in a statement.
“The commitment to public service extends far beyond the leadership at DiSanto, Priest and Co.,” he said. “It is deeply embedded throughout the firm’s culture.”
The award stems from the company’s more than $238,000 and “countless hours” donated to various charities, including Jake’s Wheels, the Impossible Dream, J. Arthur Trudeau Center, Gabrielle Dinsmore Heart and the Hope Fund, to name a few.
“We are corporate citizens in southern New England, yes, but we are also community citizens,” said Emilio Colapietro, managing partner of DiSanto, Priest & Co. “Our charitable work is a reflection of our commitment to the place our employees call home.”
The American Institute of CPAs says it’s the world’s largest member association with more than 400,000 members in 145 countries.
“To raise money to serve charities, the firm has hosted game nights, wings and chili cook-offs, dress down days and a jet pull for multiple sclerosis,” according to a press release. “To accomplish the jet pull, a team of 20 made donations and went to T.F. Green Airport’s tarmac to pull a 146,000 pound Fed Ex jet.”
