Chief Akintola Williams (9 August 1919 – 11 September 2023) was a Nigerian accountant. He was the first Nigerian to qualify as a chartered accountant.[1]
Williams began his education at Olowogbowo Methodist Primary School, Bankole street, Apongbon, Lagos Island, Lagos, in the early 1930s; the same primary school his late junior brother Chief Rotimi Williams attended. His youngest brother Rev. James Kehinde Williams was a pastor in the same church, Olowogbowo Methodist Church.
His firm founded in 1952, later grew organically and through mergers to become the largest professional services firm in Nigeria by 2004.[2]
Williams participated in founding the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.
During a long career, he received many honours.[1]
He married Mabel Efunroye Williams (née Coker) who was a member of the Coker family, a very prominent and influential family in Nigeria. Akintola Williams' brother-in-law, Mr. F.C.O. Coker, along with Williams helped create the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) with Williams and Coker being the first and second presidents of ICAN respectively.
