Who we are
The firm’s involvement in Kenya goes back to 1949 when it operated as Angus, Lawrie and Jeremy. In 1965, the name of the firm changed to Peat Marwick, Mitchell and Co. The firm operated as such until 1989, when, as a result of the international merger between Peat Marwick International and Klynveld Main Goerdeler, KPMG was created.
KPMG Kenya has 12 partners and over 300 professional staff. The Nairobi office serves as the regional co-ordinating office for the East African region providing the required networking to facilitate delivery of services on a timely basis to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations.
