In a surprising move, PwC—one of the world’s leading professional services firms—has announced a major restructuring plan that includes laying off approximately 1,800 employees in the United States.

This decision marks the firm’s first significant round of layoffs since 2009. Read below the details behind this strategic move and its potential implications.

Context and Layoffs

PwC, also known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, has long been a stalwart in the accounting, consulting, and advisory industry.

However, changing market dynamics, technological disruptions, and evolving client needs have prompted the firm to reevaluate its organizational structure.

The job cuts will primarily affect PwC’s U.S. advisory and technology operations. Approximately 2.5% of the workforce in the company’s U.S. unit will be impacted.

The layoffs span various roles, from associates to managing directors. No one is immune, as the restructuring touches verticals like business services, audit, and tax.

While the layoffs are concentrated in the U.S., it’s worth noting that a significant portion of the affected employees are reportedly based offshore.

Reasons Behind the Restructuring at PwC

PwC aims to better position itself for future market opportunities. By streamlining its operations, the firm seeks to enhance agility and responsiveness.

The accounting and consulting landscape is evolving rapidly, with digital transformation at its core. PwC’s restructuring includes a focus on its technology group, aligning it with the demands of the digital age.

The firm faces slowing demand for some of its advisory services. As clients adapt to new ways of doing business, PwC must adapt as well.
