Kreston Global is a network of 22,000 people in 170 independent accounting firms across more than 120 countries.
Kreston Global was founded in 1971 as Kreston International and based in the UK.
Founded 50 years ago, our aim remains to help businesses and people succeed internationally.
OUR APPROACH
Each Kreston Global member is an independent department with its own responsibility for its work, personnel and clients. We all hold the same values which is why the clients know they’ll get the same exceptional level of service wherever they meet us.
Forum of Firms
Kreston Global is a member of the Forum of Firms. The forum is an association of international networks of accounting firms. The main goal is to promote consistent and high-quality standards of financial reporting and auditing practices worldwide.
OUR HISTORY
Kreston was formed in 1971 by two entrepreneurs, Dr Gabriel Brotzl of German accountancy firm Bansbach, and Michael Ross, who was a partner the UK accountancy firm Finnie & Co. They set Kreston up to allow independent entrepreneurial firms access the global network and compete against the larger firms that were starting to consolidate.
This year 2021 we celebrate 50 years of Kreston and are now called Kreston Global in recognition of the expansion of our network. We remain true to our founders’ values of providing responsive, empathetic and personal support for mid-sized entrepreneurial businesses and individuals to expand overseas.
