- William_Barclay_Peat abstract "Sir William Barclay Peat (1852 - 1936) was born on 15 February 1852 in Forebank St Cyrus, Kincardine, Scotland. He was the second son of James Peat and Margaret Barclay (of the banking family that built Barclays Bank, one of England's largest). Born of privilege, Peat studied law at the prestigious Montrose Academy in Scotland, but he did not enter the legal profession.Instead, the eager 17-year-old moved to London in 1870 to seek his fortune. He was hired as a junior accounting clerk for a London firm and quickly rose through the ranks, earning partnership at the age of 24.On 29 December 1873, Peat married Edith Roberts (d. 1929) and together they had six children.In 1891, Peat assumed leadership of the firm, renamed it William Barclay Peat & Company, and ignited an accounting legacy that has endured until today."The Peat family kept the partnership going with a requirement that the senior partner needed to be a Peat for at least three generations," says Roger White, a retired KPMG partner and unofficial organization historian who wrote the book Peats to KPMG - Gracious Family to Global Firm, which was published in 2004 in the United Kingdom. In fact, three of Peat's sons, Sir Harry, Roderick and Charles all later became partners in the firm. The Peat name lives on today in the world of accounting. His son Charles Urie Peat was MP for Darlington and served as Principle Private Secretary to Winston Churchill during the Second World War. Peat retired from the firm in 1923 and died at his home, Wykeham Rise, Totteridge, Hertfordshire, on 24 January 1936.Sir William Peat's great-grandson, Michael, worked for KPMG for five years and now serves as one of Prince Charles' most trusted aides. Sir Michael Peat is an Eton- and Oxford-educated accountant who has been lauded for his tough financial stance at Buckingham Palace and as Keeper of the Privy Purse and Treasurer to the Queen.Sir Michael Peat's son Charlie Peat worked for the Sunday Times as a business reporter between 2002 and 2004.".
