Akintola Williams Deloitte is the oldest indigenous firm in Nigeria, established in 1952 by Mr. Akintola Williams, FCA, CFR, CBE, the doyen of the accountancy profession.  Through astute management the firm has grown in size and scope of services to become the largest professional services firm in Nigeria.

The firm started operations in Nigeria as Akintola Williams & Co in 1952. Between April 1999 and May 2004, two mergers with existing accounting firms were consummated which resulted in its being the largest professional services firm in Nigeria with a staff of over 600. The firm adopted the business name “Akintola Williams Deloitte” on July 30, 2004. 

Over the years, Deloitte has built up a strong representation in several major African cities and has successfully undertaken a variety of business advisory and consulting assignments for clients in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa.
