Detailed Collection Information
Historical Note
John Paul Dalsimer is a Philadelphia area accountant who was active in the Committee on Community Involvement of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Beginning in 1967, the Committee provided free accounting assistance to disadvantaged organizations and businesses who could not afford to hire such services.
In 1974, Mr. Dalsimer and other concerned individuals organized Community Accountants, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit public interest accounting organization. The goals of the organization were similar to those of the Committee on Community Involvement but with a small paid staff to more effectively undertake the provision of services.
