Helping you manage ownership and growth today, building your legacy for tomorrow.
PwC’s purpose is to build trust and solve important problems—supporting social and economic stability. Family businesses are central to that stability. We help family businesses grow, professionalise and prepare for tomorrow while safeguarding continuity for generations. Over the next few years, US$90 trillion in family capital will transfer to a generation with different values and vision. Meanwhile, disruptive change demands reinvention to stay relevant. That creates unprecedented complexity—and risk to family capital and legacy. We’re your trusted adviser to protect, transform and grow what you’ve built. PwC offers one of the largest global networks of specialist family business advisers. We support the family capital ecosystem: family governance, succession and business continuity; next‑gen education and transition; private wealth and family offices; philanthropy, values, purpose—and more. Wherever you are, whenever you need us.
At PwC, we’re dedicated to understanding what matters most to you and your business. We call our approach “The Owner’s Agenda”. This framework is designed to assist you in developing both your ownership and business strategies in a consistent and integrated way, reflecting that you sit at the heart of each of them, and that your agenda encompasses both.
No matter where you are on your business journey, your PwC team is at your side translating our unique vantage point and perspective into real insights that can help you succeed. Together, we can find new opportunities, and shape the future of your business. We’re built around you.
We step inside your agenda to understand where you want your business to evolve. From there, we assemble the right team to fit the needs of your business and take it further. We also invest in understanding what’s collectively driving our clients’ decisions by surveying thousands of family business owners and interviewing hundreds of private business CEOs every year.
Sharing experiences and gaining actionable insights
At PwC, we harness the collective power of some the brightest independent minds across the private business sector and bring peer-to-peer networking to our clients. From years of working with family businesses, we’re ready to support you in fostering entrepreneurship and engaging your next generation, ensuring growth today and legacy tomorrow.
Thanks to our global convening power, we regularly organise some of the world’s highest profile family business gatherings including roundtables and retreats, family business conferences and workshops. We also curate unique family business and NextGen programmes with our global partners such as Slush.

PwC professionals from our global family business practice train at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management Center for Family Enterprise — the same program that many leading business owning families send their families and executives for education. We have also just launched a similar program with the University of St. Gallen Center for Family Business.
