It's four years running as a Best Firm to Work For for PwC. A big part of that continued success, according to Dana Mcilwain, PwC Vice Chairman and U.S. Advisory Leader, is the firm's market success.
"As the Advisory practice continues to grow in 2013, I look forward to uncovering opportunities at new and existing clients and helping them find ways to be more agile and successful," Mcilwain says. "Our profitable growth has and will continue to translate into increased leadership, developmental and career opportunities for everyone. We are relentlessly focused on delivering a great people and client experience. We foster a culture of teaming, building relationships and delivering value. This translates into an exceptional people experience across PwC and an incomparable experience for our clients."
That increased ability to help clients grow and innovate in today's challenging business climate, is what Mcilwain says most excites him about the opportunities ahead. "Much of the work we do with our clients is transformational—helping clients look across their business to design and execute strategies for profitable and sustainable growth," he says.
"What sets us apart from other firms is our ability to help our clients transform their business from strategy through execution. This is an exciting time to be a part of PwC and Advisory. Our partners and staff are extremely excited about the opportunities that lay ahead."
Mcilwain says PwC has the right talent to help clients address their business challenges anywhere in the world. "Our deep industry experience, global reach and ability to deliver on a breadth of client issues, including tax and assurance issues, gives us the competitive advantage and differentiates us from our competitors," he says.
And that allows PwC to stay focused on driving flexibility for its people—from providing opportunities for global assignments, to flexible work arrangements, to support of continuing education, he says.
"Being a Best Firm to Work For is a reflection of our commitment to our clients, our people and our firm," Mcilwain says. "As a leading professional services firm, we are focused on delivering the highest quality of service to our clients and on providing our people with a lifetime of opportunities. Our firm leadership, partners and staff are all very pleased and proud to be named a Best Firm to Work For."
