Accenture is a global professional services company specializing in consulting, digital, technology, and operations services. It was founded in 1989 as Andersen Consulting, originating from the consulting division of the accounting firm Arthur Andersen. The company was rebranded as Accenture in 2001, a name reflecting "Accent on the future."
Although Accenture doesn't have a single founder, its establishment was a collective effort by partners at Arthur Andersen. The rebranding and independence from Arthur Andersen marked a significant milestone in its history.
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Accenture operates in over 200 cities across 50 countries, employing more than 500,000 people. The company serves a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, finance, communications, media, and technology. Known for its innovation and use of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and blockchain, Accenture helps clients achieve digital transformation and sustainable business growth.
The Accenture Mafia has founded 1090 companies and raised $17 billion.
