KPMG was formed in 1987 with the merger of Peat Marwick International (PMI) and Klynveld

Main Goerdeler (KMG) and their individual member firms. Spanning three centuries, the
organization's history can be traced through the names of its principal founding members —
whose initials form the name "KPMG."

Kstands for Klynveld. Piet Klynveld founded the accounting firm Klynveld Kraayenhof &
Co. in Amsterdam in 1917.
Pis for Peat. William Barclay Peat founded the accounting firm William Barclay Peat & Co.
in London in 1870.
M stands for Marwick. James Marwick founded the accounting firm Marwick, Mitchell &
Co. with Roger Mitchell in New York City in 1897.
Gis for Goerdeler. Dr. Reinhard Goerdeler was for many years chairman of Deutsche
Treuhand-Gesellschaft and later chairman of KPMG. He is credited with laying much of
the groundwork for the KMG merger.
In 1911, William Barclay Peat & Co. and Marwick,
Mitchell & Co. joined forces to form what would
later be known as Peat Marwick International (PMI),
a worldwide network of accounting and consulting
firms.
In 1979, Klynveld joined forces with Deutsche
Treuhand-Gesellschaft and the international
professional services firm McLintock Main Lafrentz
to form Klynveld Main Goerdeler (KMG).
In 1987, PMI and KMG and their member firms
joined forces. Today, all member firms throughout
the world carry the KPMG name exclusively or
include it in their national firm names.
