Miles Everson
U.S. Advisory Leader
PwC
Q: What's the outlook for 2014?
A: We're excited about the new opportunities ahead of us, and expect to see continued organic and inorganic growth across all of our capabilities in Advisory, which includes Consulting, Forensics and Deals. The world we live in is changing rapidly, and the pace of change continues to accelerate. This creates tremendous opportunities for us to help our clients navigate this dynamic environment and new challenges as they arise.
To this end, we remain focused on creating value by bringing our full suite of capabilities to help our clients tackle their most challenging and complex business imperatives. We are making investments in many key areas of importance to our clients, including analytics, customer impact, deals, and cybersecurity. We are strategically increasing our partner and client service staffing and have added doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, government agency leaders, consultants, accountants and industry luminaries to significantly expand the depth and breadth of our industry and functional capabilities.
Q: What do you see as the biggest opportunities for the firm in 2014?
A: Over the next three to five years, we anticipate large transitions affecting economies driven by what we call megatrends, revolving around rapid urbanization; climate change and resource scarcity; technological breakthroughs; and perhaps the most influential trend for most businesses today, the gradual steady rise in incomes and new economic opportunities for millions of people.
Q: Where your firm is today?
A: Globally, PwC reported record total gross revenues of $32.1 billion in our fiscal year ending June 30th of 2013, and we continue to build on our momentum as a leading professional services firm.
In our Advisory practice, we are focused on serving our clients from strategy through execution, delivering an enhanced value proposition that brings together deep functional and industry expertise from across the practice and the firm to holistically address our clients' needs. And it is no surprise to us that our Advisory practice continues to make great strides in the market, as evidenced by our strong profitable growth and numerous external accolades, including over 25 reports from industry analysts that confirmed our leadership position across a number of segments where we compete.
