About the Company

PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited is comprised of a network of firms that operate in 157 countries, employ more than 295,000 people, and serve 84 percent of Fortune Global 500 companies and more than 100,000 entrepreneurial and private businesses. For the 12 months ending June 30, 2021, its revenues were $45 billion.
