Our Origins
DFK International was founded in 1962 by three accountants from London, Paris and Sydney who recognized the benefits of exchanging their knowledge and experience with colleagues in other countries.
The U.S. national group was then formed in 1978 as The Accountancy Group. These leaders sought to strengthen their services by enhancing their technical resources. The common thread: colleagues sharing technical expertise and management practices. Recognizing the need for a global affiliation, the US group joined DFK in 1982, forming DFK International/USA.
