PwC on Wednesday announced the promotion of 92 partners to its leadership, on top of the 53 promotions admitted to the firm’s partnership in January, the largest partnership intake in the history of the firm’s Australian outpost.
The raft of admissions takes PwC’s total partnership to 777, up from 693 partners during the same period last year.
Of the 92 new partners, 60 were promoted from within, while two will join the firm’s Australian offices on international transfers, and 30 have joined from other firms.
The firm’s consulting unit admitted the largest portion of new partners to leadership, at 37; while its financial advisory business, which includes tax, private clients, deals and infrastructure, admitted 36; assurance admitted 18; and the remaining promotions were made in internal services.
PwC chief executive Tom Seymour said a record partnership intake across the firm’s Australian offices demonstrates the firm’s commitment to growth prospects and “exciting” career paths for its people. He said the newly promoted cohort symbolise the demand in growth markets, too.
“Our new partners signify strong demand in our core businesses and in our growth markets, with experts in infrastructure, cyber security, the future of work and healthcare representing one in five of the new partners we’ve admitted since this time last year,” Mr Seymour said.

“Our new partners also demonstrate who we are as a firm. We’re constantly on the lookout for exceptional individuals who embody our values and have the right skills to meet our clients’ needs.”
Mr Seymour congratulated the firm’s diversity and inclusivity efforts which, this financial year, have seen partnership admissions comprise 48 per cent female promotions, while 34 per cent hail from diverse cultural backgrounds.
“We’re proud of the hard work we’ve put in as a firm to make our partnership more diverse and inclusive,” Mr Seymour said. “This financial year, 48 per cent of our partnership admissions are female and 34 per cent are from a diverse cultural background. We also have three assurance partners and one consulting partner admitted while on parental leave.
“We’re thrilled to welcome this talented group to our partnership and congratulate them on this significant achievement.”
