PwC

PwC Germany, with headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, is one of the largest professional services networks in the country. It traces its origins to 1924 in Germany, while the global PwC brand stems from the 1998 merger of Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand, two firms with 19th-century London roots. Today, PwC Germany employs about 13,000 people and is led by CEO Dr. Petra Justenhoven. The German operation reported revenues of €5.2 billion, marking its status as a formidable provider of audit, consulting, tax, and assurance services. PwC’s regional base in Tower 185, one of Frankfurt’s tallest buildings, reflects the city's significance as a financial and economic center. The firm’s client base spans multiple sectors, ranging from financial services and real estate to technology and manufacturing. PwC Germany has been prominently involved in current topics such as digital transformation, risk management, and sustainable business practices. Its reports and roundtables in sectors like real estate have addressed contemporary challenges such as inflation, rising construction costs, and the impact of artificial intelligence on employment. Recent years have seen PwC Germany both advising clients on major corporate transformations and speaking publicly on matters such as bankruptcies in the construction sector and shifts in the broader economic climate. Its standing in Frankfurt, central to the EU’s financial infrastructure, places PwC at the crossroads of European regulatory and business developments.
