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.
