I always wondered what drives them to be so successful. KPMG was established in 1987, and its global headquarters is in Amstelveen, Netherlands.

Scott London Case Scott London had it all – the perfect family, a gorgeous house, luxury cars, great friends, a hip social life, and a nearly seven-figure job to support it all.

Everything done is visible by everyone at any time. In fact, what makes the work done that way, is the fact that the company belongs to an international network.…
