Private Company Services: What We Do

PCS is truly a unique organization an exciting platform for working with private companies. Within our national firm, PCS operates as a separate and distinct business unit committed to serving the needs of privately held businesses and their owners. Our professionals are empowered to deliver high quality, complex technical solutions to our PCS clients, and are also connected to PricewaterhouseCoopers' global network of technical specialists — resources not often found in other smaller, regional firms.

Our PCS professionals function as trusted advisors. Our professionals are part of multidisciplinary teams who work together to provide trusted guidance, tailored solutions, and customized compliance processes to our private company clients. We build deep business and personal relationships with our clients — and with each other — through regular and meaningful communication.

When a "one-size" approach to auditing doesn’t fit." We view our PCS audit as an effective business tool designed to bring practical ideas to help improve our clients' unregulated businesses. Our trusted advisors experience the excitement of providing objective high quality guidance to our clients on the multitude of accounting and tax issues encountered throughout each stage of the business life cycle — from inception to transition — including an IPO, company sale, or other event to enhance a client company's value and/or achieve liquidity. We also help our clients understand the nuances of corporate organizational structure and the impact on tax strategy and cash flow.

Delivering quality ideas to our PCS clients begins with quality training for our people. We offer unique experiences for our PCS staff to excel and distinguish themselves as specialists in serving private companies, with broad based skills and access to our Firm's global network of specialists. Training modules are also delivered that are specific to our PCS technical and industry competencies, as well as our continual development of trusted advisors.

Our PCS staff members enjoy excellent opportunities to work closely with our private company clients, interacting with high levels of management very early on in their careers. This is important because, for many of our PCS clients, it is not only their businesses, but their own personal wealth that is at stake. Moreover, our PCS advisors strive to work with our PricewaterhouseCoopers colleagues across all lines of service in order to build the personal relationships that are necessary to initiate regular, candid discussions regarding our clients' business and personal financial goals.

Our PCS team benefits from a "tone at the top" that supports work/life balance and diversity. At PricewaterhouseCoopers, we understand that our most valuable asset is our people. Our PCS partners, managers and staff have access to a variety of flexible work arrangements — supported by the highest levels of the Firm — which allow them more flexibility in managing both work and personal responsibilities. We seek diversity in all that we do - from the people we hire, to the clients we service, to the exchange of ideas we seek.

Propel your career by joining PricewaterhouseCoopers' PCS team, and embark on an exciting career where business isn't just business, it's personal.


"Within PCS, I've been exposed to many groups within PwC. I've been involved in assisting a client go public, mentoring interns to senior associates, campus recruiting, as well as coordinating teaming events. These vast experiences here allow me to expand my knowledge and skill set far beyond what I ever envisioned. As PwC continues to focus on expanding the PCS group, the opportunities here are endless."
