In 1987, a historic merger brought together Peat Marwick International and Klynveld Main Goerdeler, forming what we now know as KPMG - one of the world's leading professional services organizations. But our roots run deeper, with founding firms dating back to 1897, when James Marwick and Roger Mitchell established what would become a cornerstone of the accounting profession. Over more than 125 years, we've evolved from a traditional accounting firm into a global network of independent firms delivering Audit, Tax, and Advisory services across 142 countries and territories, serving the needs of business, governments, and capital markets worldwide.
What sets us apart isn't just what we do - it's how we do it. At KPMG, we believe in being agile, connected, and at the forefront of technological change. Our values - Integrity, Excellence, Courage, Together, and For Better - form the foundation of everything we do and guide how we work with clients and each other. We're committed to quality and service excellence, bringing our best to clients and earning the public's trust through our actions. Today, with over 276,000 people globally, we continue to help organizations mitigate risks and grasp opportunities, driving positive, sustainable change for our clients, our people, and society at large.
