Accountants have been central to the success of businesses and families for thousands of years. Dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, early accounting records were used to track trade and tax obligations.
But the foundation of modern accounting was laid in 1494, when Luca Pacioli, a Venetian monk and mathematician, published the first documentation of the double-entry bookkeeping system—a method still at the heart of balance sheets and profit and loss statements today.
By the 1800s, wealthy families in Europe and America began hiring private accountants to manage their finances. These professionals worked closely with bankers and investment advisors, paying bills, maintaining ledgers, and advising on family business holdings. This structure allowed family members to focus on running their enterprises while financial operations remained in expert hands.
Over time, this role evolved into what we now call the family office—a centralized team managing tax filings, investment portfolios, trust distributions, and real estate holdings for one or more generations
