History

Hood & Strong LLP was founded in 1917 by Walter G. Hood and Addison G. Strong. These founders made commitments to serve their clients with professional excellence and unflagging integrity. The current partners of the firm continue to adhere to these commitments.

About the Founders

Walter Hood has been described as an individual with a strong determination to succeed. He projected an "in charge" attitude which made him a natural leader. His integrity and no-nonsense business sense are at the heart of Hood & Strong LLP today.

If Walter Hood can be characterized as the leader in the early years of Hood & Strong LLP, then Addison Strong was the firm's teacher and mentor. He was a noted accounting expert whose knowledge covered many industries. The way he always offered advice and assistance to those who needed it has become the reason why many clients are attracted to Hood & Strong LLP. And his teaching methods, aimed at building up the confidence of those he worked with, are one of the reasons that we continue to attract and retain top, talented individuals.
