Our history

Principal founding members

There were four key figures in the formation of 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网. They are the founding members of the present organization.

William Barclay Peat

William Barclay Peat (the Pin 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网) started his career in accountancy at just 17, working for Robert Fletcher & Co. He quickly rose through the ranks, and in 1891, Peat assumed leadership of the firm, and renamed it William Barclay Peat & Co.

James Marwick

In 1897, the US firm Marwick, Mitchell & Company got its start in New York City. The company was formed by James Marwick (the M in 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网) and Roger Mitchell, both Scottish immigrants. It wasn鈥檛 easy establishing a firm in the city; many thought there was no place or need for accountants, but the two soon built a strong reputation.

Piet Klynveld

In 1917 Piet Klynveld (the Kin 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网) opened a small accounting firm in Amsterdam. Jaap Kraayenhof joined and the firm became Klynveld Kraayenhof & Company (KKC). By the time Klynveld passed away in 1946, he left behind the largest accounting firm in the Netherlands.

Reinhard Goerdeler

Dr Reinhard Goerdeler was the first president of the International Federation of Accountants and achairman of 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网. He was instrumental in the formation of Klynveld Main Goerdeler, a key precursor of today鈥檚 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网.
