What we do
At PwC we work as a team and we’re encouraged to share our ideas and skills across the firm. This embodies what we call our ‘OneFirm culture’. However, people’s skills and interests will take them in different directions and into areas of specialisation. There are three key areas, or ‘lines of service’. These are Advisory, Assurance and Tax.
Advisory
Our Advisory team works with all types of companies including private businesses, public companies, and government organisations. We advise clients on company growth, tackling financial under-performance, corporate finance, performance improvement, investigating corporate fraud, and actuarial work.
The PwC Advisory team works with clients across a myriad of industries including energy/mining, consumer/industrial products, financial services, telecommunications, education, health and the public sector.
Assurance
The PwC Assurance team audits 40% of NZX companies. Our people are out and about in the city, working across a wide range of industries. Others are involved in business assurance projects, reviewing companies' processes and systems, and recommending how risks can be reduced.
We provide advice on accounting treatment and regulation, risk management, and compliance. As well as listed public companies, our clients include start-up companies, private companies, not-for-profits, government organisations, and large multinationals.
Tax
We are involved in all aspects of Tax advice for businesses. The work we do for clients includes consulting jobs such as interpreting and applying legislation and precedents, planning for corporates and high net worth individuals, advising on mergers/acquisition structures, and international tax advice.
The other side of our work sees us ensuring our clients are complying with their obligations to the IRD and overseas revenue authorities. The PwC Tax team is the largest in New Zealand with over 170 staff. We are the first choice for companies in our chosen markets.
