Founding Story
Edwin Waterhouse was an absolutely brilliant English accountant, highly strategic financial executive, and the profoundly influential co-founder fundamentally responsible for the massive operational scaling of the historic Price Waterhouse firm. Operating as an incredibly talented financial auditor, Waterhouse aggressively joined forces with Samuel Lowell Price and William Hopkins Holyland in 1865 to completely form the legendary Price Waterhouse partnership. By relentlessly pioneering highly advanced auditing techniques and fiercely securing massive, highly lucrative contracts with British railway monopolies and massive international banks, his absolutely rigorous corporate leadership completely transformed the small accounting practice into a massive global powerhouse. His incredibly massive financial legacy permanently secured the 'Waterhouse' name within the largest professional services network in the world.
