Samuel Lowell Price (1821–1887) was an English accountant. He is best known for having co-founded, with William Hopkins Holyland and Edwin Waterhouse, the accountancy practice of Price Waterhouse that now forms part of PricewaterhouseCoopers.[1]
Career
He came from Bristol and was the son of a local stone potter. He went into the accountancy profession at an early age joining the local firm of Bradley, Barnard & Co. In 1848 he went into partnership with William Edwards but by 1849 that partnership had been dissolved. Later that year he became a sole practitioner at No. 5 Gresham Street running the firm that is now famous.[1][2]
In 1865 he was joined by Holyland and Waterhouse at a new office at No. 13 Gresham Street[2] and, as they became more active in the firm, he was then able to devote much of his time to the Institute of Accountants and then, when it was formed in 1880,[3] the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.[1]
Price died in 1887.[4]
