Frankfurt am Main, 28. Oktober 2025
The auditing and consulting firm PwC Germany has successfully concluded the past financial year (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025). Total revenue rose by 7.2 percent (220 million euros) to 3,272.8 million euros. PwC Germany is thus continuing the growth of previous years and consolidating its position as the leading auditing and consulting firm in Germany. Compared with other companies in the global PwC network, PwC Germany is also proving to be a strong growth performer.
“We are proud that we have once again exceeded last year’s excellent results. This demonstrates the strength of PwC Germany’s market position. We are increasing our clients’ competitiveness – especially in economically challenging times.”
Leading in the auditing of DAX40 companies
All three divisions of PwC Germany – Assurance Solutions, Tax & Legal Solutions and Consulting Solutions – contributed to the positive business performance.
In the Assurance Solutions division, PwC Germany achieved total output of 908.4 million euros (-0.9 percent). The demand for expert support in financial and sustainability reporting remains high across all industries. With currently 18 clients and a market share of 45 percent, PwC Germany is the leader in auditing DAX40 companies.
The Tax & Legal Solutions division achieved total output of 687.7 million euros. This corresponds to an increase of 11.9 percent. There was particularly strong demand for support in connected tax compliance, which involves a holistic approach to compliance requirements with extensive process automation across tax types and national borders. In addition, the need for sound advice on dealing with customs duties and import restrictions has increased since these have been increasingly used as industrial and geopolitical instruments in the global economy.
The Consulting Solutions division also performed well. PwC Germany achieved total output of 1,616.9 million euros in this division, representing growth of 10.8 percent. With this performance, PwC Germany is growing significantly in the consulting sector, bucking the economic trend in Germany. Technological disruption, geopolitical and trade conflicts, and ongoing economic uncertainty mean that the pressure on companies to transform remains high. This has resulted in a great demand for comprehensive consulting services. Key topics in consulting include supply chain resilience, sustainability, artificial intelligence and cloud technology, and the redesign of business models.
For a more accurate representation of PwC Germany's business areas, orders with a volume of around 60 million euros were reported in Consulting Solutions in the 2025 financial year instead of in Assurance Solutions as in the previous year. As in the previous year, Assurance Solutions achieved growth in total output of 6.0 percent and Consulting Solutions growth of 6.4 percent.
Other services (firmwide) amounting to 59.8 million euros (-2.5 percent) complete the annual result.
The total global performance of the PwC network, with member firms in 136 countries, grew by 2.7 percent to around 57 billion US-dollars at the end of the financial year. Around 365,000 employees work in the PwC network worldwide.
PwC Germany remains attractive for top specialists and executives
PwC Germany continues to attract qualified employees and expertise. In the 2025 financial year, 2,551 employees and 125 trainees were hired. On average, 15,529 employees were employed in Germany (previous year: 15,230). The number of partners rose to 718 (previous year: 705).
“We are convinced that the key to success lies in the powerful combination of talent and technology. Each of our employees contributes their specific expertise and, in combination with state-of-the-art technology, creates real added value. This combination of expertise and technological innovation makes us unique and drives us to achieve excellence.”
PwC Germany has invested heavily in training to prepare employees for the demands of a technology-driven consulting and auditing environment. Among other things, an intelligent learning platform for needs-based continuing education was implemented in the past financial year.
In addition, employees participated in more than 2,500 national and international training courses, amounting to more than 51,600 training days. These investments ensure that PwC remains attractive to all kinds of talent and that its employees can meet the demands of digital transformation with competence and confidence.
Record investments in AI and technology
Artificial intelligence, and generative and agentic AI (GenAI and Agentic AI), are transforming knowledge work. PwC Germany and the PwC network are actively shaping these developments through their own innovations and alliances. Worldwide,
Worldwide 3.1 billion US-dollars has been invested in the expansion of key capabilities, particularly AI and technology.
PwC is working on strategic alliances with leading technology providers and innovative start-ups to develop new AI applications from concept to operation. In the reporting year, for example, an operating system for Agentic AI was developed. It enables the integration of AI agents into business workflows that can make independent decisions, perform more complex tasks and react flexibly to new situations or information. Important foundations were also laid for the “Assurance for AI” business area. PwC builds trust in data and data-driven business models of companies and supports them from an audit perspective.
“Many of our clients are asking for specific AI applications that will enable them to improve processes, increase quality and productivity, or develop new business models. We are responding to this by combining technical expertise with growing AI expertise in all our audit and advisory services.”
PwC is at the forefront of change, together with its clients
Business models, customer needs, technology and the operating environment for companies are currently undergoing rapid, often disruptive change. The global PwC study “Value in Motion” describes what technological developments, climate impacts, demographic change and other social trends could trigger in the next ten years. Above all, AI has set in motion a productivity revolution that could increase German GDP by an additional 11 percentage points by 2035. Climate risks, on the other hand, could cause it to shrink by 4 percentage points over the same period.
“Now is the right time to reinvent business models. This transformation goes far beyond developing a few new products or optimising a few processes. It requires a fundamental rethink in almost all areas of a company.”
Over the next ten years, these megatrends will influence revenues worth trillions of US-dollars and shift value creation. PwC Germany stands alongside companies and institutions, helping them to initiate, accelerate and sustain the right changes. In doing so, PwC relies on the power of its network to deliver holistic solutions across industries, countries and business areas.
Outlook: Further growth thanks to expertise and quality
PwC Germany has made a successful start to the current 2026 financial year and has already secured new major audit and advisory mandates. Clients value the combined expertise, from strategy development to implementation, from auditing to the provision of managed services.
With this line-up and under the market conditions described, PwC is confident that it can continue its growth path.
“We are cautiously optimistic about the future and expect overall performance in all business areas to continue to develop positively in the coming financial year. Our ambition is to further expand our position as the leading auditing and consulting firm in Germany. The quality of all PwC services and products is and will remain the key to our success.”
