PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)

PricewaterhouseCoopers, known as PwC, is one of the Big Four professional services firms, and this listing covers its office in Boston’s Seaport district. PwC describes itself as a global network of firms delivering assurance, tax and consulting services to businesses. In the Seaport directory the office is listed under work, office and finance, reflecting its role as a professional workplace rather than a storefront business.

The firm in its current form dates to the 1998 merger of Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand, two accounting firms with nineteenth-century roots. Its assurance practice covers financial statement audits, while its tax and consulting teams advise companies on compliance, planning and business issues. The Boston office belongs to the firm’s U.S. arm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and is one of many corporate offices in the Seaport.
