About Ernst & Young South Africa

Ernst & Young is committed to delivering professional services in consulting, financial advisory, tax advisory, assurance and legal. The company was founded back in the 19th century, with Arthur Young and Alwin C Ernst considered as founders.

Arthur Young finished his law degree but shifted to the banking and investment industry and pursued his accounting career. He formed Arthur Young & Company, an accounting firm, in 1906. Alwin C Ernst worked as a bookkeeper and formed Ernst & Ernst, a small public accounting firm, in 1903.

Both accounting firms entered the global marketplace allying with well-known British firms namely Broads Paterson & Co with Arthur Young & Company and Whinney Smith & Whinney with Ernst & Ernst. Though both men have never met in life, their ideals lived and were brought together as a foundation to establish today’s Ernst & Young.
