Australia has a sophisticated financial services sector, boasts a comparatively strong economy and is well positioned as a financial hub in the world's fastest growing region. Yet the sector faces unprecedented challenges, many of which stem from the global financial crisis. The pace of growth has slowed, trust has been eroded – particularly in international markets – and the sector is in a rebuilding phase that will likely continue for some years.
Every financial services organisation faces the challenge of re-engaging customers, increasing profitability and identifying opportunities for growth in Australia and globally. That's the work PwC is doing right now.

We operate at a global level to match our clients’ businesses, working with Australian financial services organisations with international operations, and international organisations with operations in Australia.
