Corporate Value Advisory
Helping you act on value with confidence
PwC Australia’s Corporate Value Advisory team is a full-service valuation practice, helping clients establish, defend and act on value across transactions, restructures, tax, accounting, regulation, fund reporting, disputes and strategic decision-making.
Our specialists advise across business and intangible assets, debt, derivatives, complex financial instruments, real estate, infrastructure, property, plant and equipment. We help clients understand what something is worth, what drives that value and how it may change.
As one of Australia’s largest valuation practices, we combine technical rigour, sector insight and appropriate pragmatism with the broader capability of PwC’s Deals business and global valuation network.
- Navigating complex valuation requirements across transactions, restructures, financial reporting, tax, regulation and governance
- Understanding value in volatile markets, uncertain conditions or situations where assumptions are highly sensitive
- Connecting valuation outcomes with broader deal strategy, tax, accounting, legal, financing and commercial considerations
- Evidencing value for boards, investors, auditors, regulators, courts or other stakeholders
- Resolving disputes or litigation where value, loss or damages need to be quantified and explained
- Optimising value across deals, portfolios, capital allocation, restructuring and strategic decision-making
Why PwC
Valuation requires more than technical calculation. It requires judgement, sector insight, commercial understanding and the ability to communicate complex issues clearly. PwC brings these capabilities together through one of Australia’s largest valuation practices, embedded within a broader Deals business of 450 specialists.
Working alongside PwC experts in transactions, strategy, due diligence, infrastructure, modelling, tax, accounting, legal, restructuring, real estate, data and analytics, our team connects valuation advice with the wider commercial context. This helps clients understand not only what something is worth, but what drives that value, how it may change and what it means for the decision at hand.
As part of PwC’s global valuations network of 5,500 valuation staff and partners, we bring international experience, market knowledge and specialist capability across major territories, sectors and asset classes. We combine that scale with practical commercial judgement to deliver valuation advice that is robust, defensible and focused on better decision-making.
