History

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."


K for Klynveld. Piet Klynveld founded the accounting firm Klynveld Kraayenhof & Co. in Amsterdam in 1917.	P for Peat. William Barclay Peat founded the accounting firm William Barclay Peat & Co. in London in 1870.	M for Marwick. James Marwick founded the accounting firm Marwick, Mitchell & Co. with Roger Mitchell in New York City in 1897.	G 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.

KPMG in Gibraltar was re-established in December 2007 by the partners of KPMG Isle of Man, who recognised the importance of Gibraltar and its position within the European Union.

The practice was initially operated out of the Isle of Man until April 2008 when office premises where obtained and local staff employed to service the growing client base.

KPMG in Gibraltar is part of The Offshore Group, a sub-region of KPMG comprising 19 other international financial services centres.

With 15 directors, managers and staff, KPMG in Gibraltar now provides audit, tax, advisory services to a wide range of clients and continues to play an important part in the development and growth of Gibraltar.
