Roger Mitchell

Roger Mitchell was a Scottish accountant who founded "Marwick, Mitchell & Co.", one of the predecessor firms to KPMG, the leading international firm of accountants.

Educated at the University of Glasgow, Mitchell was sent to New York City to run the family textile business. In 1897, together with James Marwick, he established the firm of "Marwick, Mitchell & Co.". In 1911, when William Barclay Peat joined the practice, the name of the firm changed to "Marwick, Mitchell, Peat & Co."

Mitchell took over as senior partner from Marwick in 1917 and retired in 1925.
