Our History

1972
Pool & Patel was established on 1 May 1972, coinciding with the introduction of the Seychelles Companies Act. The firm was originally founded as Michael Angas Pool & Company, laying the foundation for a long-standing presence in the profession.
1982
Following a merger with Suketu Patel & Associates, the firm became BDO Pool Bruce & Patel and joined Binder Dijke Otte & Co (now BDO International), marking its first affiliation with a global accounting network.
1997
In a significant development, KPMG appointed the firm to take over the operations of KPMG Peat Marwick (Kenya) in Seychelles. With effect from 1 June 1997, the firm became a full member of KPMG International, led by partners Bernard L Pool FCA and Suketu Patel FCA.
2000
On 1 October 2000, Gemma W Roberts FCCA joined the firm as a partner, further strengthening its leadership team.
2002
Following changes in KPMG International's membership structure, which encouraged integration into larger regional entities, the firm elected to adopt a correspondent firm status. This approach aligned more closely with its strategic direction and independence, a relationship that continued until 2009.
2009
In April 2009, the firm joined Moore Stephens International (now Moore Global) as a full member firm. This affiliation provided access to a broad international network, supporting the firm's ability to serve clients with cross-border needs while remaining closely aligned with the Seychelles market.
2019
In September 2019, Christina E A Georges FCCA was admitted as a partner, supporting the firm's leadership transition and continuity planning ahead of the retirement of Mr. Bernard L Pool in December 2021.
2025
As at 31 December 2025, the firm ceased its membership with Moore Global and continues to operate as an independent practice. The firm remains committed to delivering high-quality audit, tax, and advisory services, maintaining the same standards of professionalism and client focus.
2026
As of July 2026, the firm joined Nexia International and continues to operate with the same standards of professionalism and client focus that have defined it for over five decades.
