With its natural beauty, urban sophistication, cultural diversity, sports and recreation, Calgary is a leading business centre within the Canadian economy. Many of our PwC clients are within walking distance from our office. Brilliant futures are waiting as we recruit into Audit and Assurance, Tax and Consulting & Deals providing you with different opportunities to achieve your future. Our Assurance group has a long-standing track record as an approved CA Training Office and our Tax group is currently in the process of gaining CA Training Office status. This will create new and exciting careers for individuals to gain their CA designation.

We make learning and development a priority. This is evident in our high success rate of first time UFE passes and participation in professional development programs. PwC supports global opportunities, giving our employees job enrichment and career choices. Currently, we have employees working in Australia, Grand Cayman and Shanghai to name a few locations. Through programs like Fabulous Fridays, Briefcase Parents, Success is a Balancing Act and Women in Leadership, PwC Calgary makes diversity and work/life flexibility a priority.

Calgary is the energy capital of Canada, but we have a diverse client base of public and private companies from many other industries. In addition to our energy clients, we provide industry-leading services to utilities, technology, manufacturing and health care companies. You’ll have the opportunity to work with many of the world’s leading organizations with operations that are local, national and international in scope.

PwC believes in helping to build and empower the communities in which we live and work through team volunteering, environmentally focused initiatives and charity fundraising campaigns.

In 2010-2011, our office volunteered more than 1,880 hours to local organizations. This volunteer time was through PwC’s Team Volunteering program which gives each staff member one paid day per year to go out and give back to the community. We also recognize the amazing efforts of our people through our annual Volunteer of the Year Award, which is given out at a special event to recognize all the nominees.

Annually, we host town halls where we not only talk business but develop a setting where everyone has the opportunity to socialize with leaders and colleagues, outside of the office.
