The global workforce of accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has increased sharply over the last decade, growing from 161,718 employees in 2010 to 250,930 employees in 2018.
PwC
PwC is one of the largest professional services firms in the world, specializing in auditing and accountancy services. Their operations are divided into three services lines: assurance, which deals primarily with financial audits; advisory, which provides broader management consultancy services; and tax, which provides tax consulting services (189612). Geographically, the largest share of their revenue is generated in the Americas, however they employ slightly more staff in Western Europe.
The Big Four
The Big Four accounting firms – Deloitte, PwC, EY and KPMG – are the four largest professional services networks in the world. Most publicly listed firms will procure auditing services from one of the Big Four, as do countless private companies. PwC is the second largest of the Big Four in terms of global revenue (250479), and the third-largest in terms of global employees.
