PwC Sweden

What PwC Sweden does

PwC Sweden, legally Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB, is the Swedish member firm of the global PwC network. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Stockholm, the firm employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and delivers professional services across five core lines: Audit, Tax, Advisory (including Deals and Consulting), Legal services, and the PwC Academy training business. Its client base spans ten or more industries, with named coverage in financial services, healthcare, energy, real estate, private equity, the public sector, retail, TMT, family business, and defence, including partnerships with entities such as Apotek Hjärtat, SATS, the International Pharmaceutical Federation, and the firm's global strategy arm Strategy&.

The firm's revenue model is the standard Big Four professional services model: time-and-materials and fixed-fee engagements in regulated assurance (statutory audit, accounting), recurring compliance work in tax and legal, project-based advisory and deals mandates, and fee-for-service executive education through PwC Academy. Service delivery is supported by a Stockholm headquarters and likely regional offices, with cross-border work resourced through the wider PwC global network. The Pond Innovation acquisition in 2017 added digital product and design capabilities to the Advisory practice, and the firm has subsequently invested in AI-led advisory, workforce transformation, and sector-specific thought leadership (AI Jobs Barometer, Swedish Defence Industry Report, Svensk Sportindustri). No first-party revenue, headcount, or growth rate is publicly disclosed, and the firm is not a separately listed entity.
