Lines of service

Challenges in all four lines of service



Assurance


Major structural changes and the growing importance of auditing and assurance as a component of good corporate governance are raising the benchmark in terms of financial reporting requirements. 


Your expertise as a PwC auditor helps ensure that the various stakeholders have access to the information they require. At PwC, your work goes way beyond mere number-crunching. Your job will also include identifying risks in processes and systems, analysing business processes, and engaging in constructive and critical dialogue with the client's management, audit committee and board of directors.


Tax & Legal


From local SMEs to large multinationals, the tax and legal environment has a key bearing on any company's profitability. 


As a tax advisor at PwC, you can draw on the knowledge and expertise of a global network to help each client recognise and exploit its unique strategic potential. Your work will involve a whole array of challenges such as tax optimisation, establishing subsidiaries, structuring business processes, mergers, and aspects of finance.


Advisory


Today's companies face a more challenging business environment than ever before. Internationalisation, new technologies and an increasing focus on shareholder value are making the markets even more competitive. Business is changing so rapidly that companies are forced to act quickly, but cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. 


As an advisor at PwC, you help our clients make the right strategic decisions and implement them efficiently. PwC advisors work in three main areas: Transaction Advisory, Crisis Management and Performance Improvement. Whether you're advising clients on mergers and acquisitions, setting up a risk management system or designing processes, the solutions you come up with will have a lasting impact on their business.


Operations (internal services)


An organisation like PwC cannot serve its clients without highly qualified specialists working efficiently in the background. PwC Operations creates and maintains the technical and organisational infrastructure that enables our lines of service to deliver outstanding work to clients. 


As a member of one of our Operations units, you play a key role in the success of our projects and engagements. Human capital, for example, ensures that the right people are available to deliver our core services. Our internal finance and accounting unit ensures that the processes critical to client projects run properly. Marketing is responsible for positioning our services in the market. And our internal IT unit ensures that the computing and data systems at our fifteen Swiss offices run smoothly.
