Arthur Andersen Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
The Arthur Andersen LLP Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt pairs a familiar professional silhouette with a lasting piece of Chicago corporate history. Founded in 1913, Arthur Andersen & Co. grew into one of the Big Five, shaped by Arthur E. Andersen’s emphasis on training and accounting standards. The name now evokes accounting, consulting, and a major turning point for modern business. A considered layer for alumni, collectors, finance fans, and office-culture historians.
Arthur Andersen LLP was a Chicago-based American accounting firm providing auditing, tax advising, consulting and other professional services to large corporations. Arthur E. Andersen and Clarence DeLany founded Andersen, DeLany & Co. in 1913; after DeLany resigned, it became Arthur Andersen & Co. in 1918. Its first client was Milwaukee's Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, and the firm opened a Milwaukee office in 1915. Andersen led the business until his death in 1947 and promoted standardized training and high accounting standards. Consulting expanded rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1989, Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting became separate units of Andersen Worldwide Société Coopérative. Arbitration granted Andersen Consulting independence in 2000; it adopted the Accenture name on January 1, 2001, while Arthur Andersen rebranded as Andersen. Once among the Big Five firms, Andersen collapsed in 2002 following the Enron and WorldCom scandals. Its U.S. operations were largely sold to other firms, while former operations and alumni helped form successors including Accenture, Protiviti and Andersen Tax.
