Jefferson Wells Unveils Beantown Expansion

Audit, tax and professional services provider Jefferson Wells, headquartered here, said that it has opened its initial office in Boston, bringing its total number of units to 37. The concern said that David Welch has been named managing partner of the Boston location. Welch's resume includes stints with Spencer Brook Partners and Big Four firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Welch said that the newest branch would fuel the company's "significant expansion of our East Coast client base." In addition to Boston, Jefferson Wells' 2004 openings include London, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Portland, Ore., Grand Rapid, Mich., and San Francisco.
