We know that your business is more than a job; it’s your life, future, and legacy. Private and family businesses contribute more than $600bn to Australia’s GDP1 – that’s more than a third of our entire GDP – and employ close to 4.5 million Australians.1 The contribution is enormous, and so growth matters – not only for business owners but for the broader economy.
Right now, Australian private and family businesses are facing a once-in-a-generation transition. Over the coming years, an estimated $4 trillion in wealth, and a significant amount of responsibility will change hands as 350,000 businesses change CEO or ownership.1
Most owners want to ensure the long-term future of their business. And the key to successful growth and maximised returns during an ownership transition lies in preparation and planning.
PwC Private is perfectly positioned to help at all stages of the business life cycle. We take the time to understand your business circumstances and aspirations and, through our personal commitment, professional expertise and networks, we combine the best of our firm to deliver the outcomes you need.
In short, we know it’s personal.
Get Fit
Ensuring your fundamentals are solid
We’ll help your business drive economic value by getting you fit across all your base fundamentals.
Our finance function experts can help you budget, develop targets & KPIs, improve profitability, manage risk, and create frictionless management. We can manage your end-to-end finance function, simply supplement your existing team, or deep dive to provide extra capability and insights.
From leadership and culture development, to governance structure and business process, our proven frameworks and tools can help ensure your business reach its full potential.
We are seeing more and more that Environmental Social Governance (ESG) as being core to value creation. Those businesses that lead on ESG often enjoy greater shareholder returns and can be more appealing to investors, lenders and customers. A robust ESG strategy should consider performance measurements for financial and non-financial targets, as well as targets for Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and social impact.
This fine-tuning will enable your business to operate with confidence and grow.
