High-growth startup companies are the lifeblood of the technology industry. New and innovative business ideas are craving validation, new customers, and valuable resources. Many of the fledgling companies that are experiencing rapid growth are on their way to venture backed funding, or going public, or becoming the technology giants they were designed to be, but they are also experiencing classic growing pains in the areas of audit, tax and internal controls that accompany this growth.

PwC assists emerging companies in many ways and across many technology related sectors including software, semiconductor, Internet, entertainment and media, clean technology, telecommunications, networking, mobile applications and life sciences.
