James Peele

James Peele (d. 1585) was an English schoolmaster, accountant, and clerk of Christ’s Hospital in London. He was one of the earliest English writers on double-entry bookkeeping and played a key role in introducing Italian accounting methods to an English-speaking audience. Peele authored two important treatises on commercial arithmetic and accounting, helping to lay the groundwork for formal business education in England.
