While it has roots in the mid-1800s, the modern PwC was formed in 1988 following the merger of Coopers & Lybrand and Price Waterhouse.
Today, PwC is the second largest professional services network in the world and a cornerstone of the ‘Big Four’ accounting firms. With offices across more than 700 locations in 157 countries, the company regularly posts annual revenues in excess of USD 50bn.
As well as accountancy, PwC offers audit, consulting, forensics, legal, restructuring, risk and tax support to hundreds of thousands of customers around the world.
The company has won a host of awards over the years for everything from its office culture to its green credentials. It regularly features in the Top 100 Graduate Employer of the Year and Times Top 50 Employers for Women lists, and has been ranked among the World’s Most Valuable Brands by Forbes.

Here in the Middle East, PwC has been a key player in helping the region emerge from the pandemic and drive the next stage of its transformation.
