Johannesburg, 21 November 2025– PwC has released its Africa Annual Review, highlighting a year of reinvention, and responsible growth across the continent. Despite a complex and evolving global environment marked by technological, environmental and geopolitical forces, PwC sub-Saharan Africa reported a gross revenue of US$513 222 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
While performance varied across lines of service, the firm’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality services and unlocking value remained central to its success. Each of our lines of service saw revenue growth—with notable growth in Tax and Legal Services, reflecting 10.1% growth, followed by Deals with a 7.7% growth. Our Assurance and Consulting and Risk Services practices have also demonstrated modest levels of growth.
“In a world of uncertainty, our purpose, to build trust in society and solve important problems, has never been more relevant. Our Annual Africa Review looks ahead to a future defined by reinvention. We’re harnessing technology and AI to accelerate decision-making and drive innovation. By investing in our people—integrating AI assistants, intelligent services, and advanced tools, we’re equipping our people with the skills to take our clients to the leading edge.”
An AI empowered workforce
PwC continues to leverage AI to equip its people with the tools and capabilities needed to help clients move faster, unlock new value, and stay ahead of disruption. The launch of the Network AI Academy, a self-driven learning platform, is empowering teams across the continent to build future-ready skills.
To ensure ethical and secure adoption of AI, PwC Africa has introduced the Africa AI Business Rules and implemented a Responsible AI Framework aligned to the firm’s values. A newly established GenAI Council provides governance and oversight, ensuring responsible and trustworthy use of generative AI. These initiatives strengthen PwC’s ability not only to transform internally but to guide clients confidently through increasingly complex business challenges.
Delivering quality, building trust, and creating value
Across each line of service, PwC Africa focused on reinforcing trust, supporting clients through transformation, and expanding technology-enabled solutions.
Assurance: We’re using advanced tools to transform how we audit. Our Next Generation Audit (NGA) programme applies AI to accelerate key parts of the audit process.
Consulting and Risk Services: In FY25, our Growth Accelerators, particularly AI, Technology, and Managed Risk Services, are gaining momentum by delivering measurable impact across industries. These capabilities are not operating in isolation; they are integrated into how we help clients navigate transformation with confidence.
Deals: We continue to focus on delivering differentiated insights through best-in-class technology to distinguish ourselves from our competitors. This is demonstrated by the recognition we’ve received at the DealMakers Awards, where two of our partners from East Market Area and South Market Area were honoured in the ‘25 Iconic African Dealmakers: A Legacy of Excellence’ category.
Tax and Legal Services: We’re rolling out Sightline, our global tax technology platform. This cutting-edge solution, powered by AI, will redefine how clients interact with us — delivering a seamless digital experience, streamlining data collection and management, and enabling deeper insights to support forward-looking decisions.
As PwC Africa looks toward the future, the firm remains committed to driving reinvention that is both responsible and sustainable.
“Our investments in people and technology, as well as trust, are building the foundation for Africa’s next chapter of growth. We are not only adapting to change, we are helping shape it, alongside our clients and communities across the continent.”
