Alongside the growth of accounting and professional services at the turn of the 19th century, KPMG’s component letters are rooted in four different individuals and firms:
Piet Klynveld (K) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 1917.
William Barclay Peat (P) in London, England, in 1891.
James Marwick (M) in New York City, New York, in 1897.
Reinhard Goerdeler (G) in Germany in 1953.
In 1987, KPMG made a splash in the global accounting pool through the merger of KMG (merged in 1979) and Peat Marwick. With immense success, the Europe-based consultancy spun off parts of its American, UK, and Dutch operations to form BearingPoint in 2001 and Atos in 2002. Both companies are notable enterprise IT channel partners in their own right today.
In 2022, KPMG employs over 236,000 supporting clients in 145 countries and territories. For the fiscal year ending in September 2021, the global network of firms reported annual revenues exceeding $32.1 billion.
