About PwC

PwC provides professional services for companies and corporations, such as risk assurance, legal services, tax advisory, data and analytics, management consulting, financial advisory, and forensic accounting. PricewaterhouseCoopers was once two separate firms and merged in September 1998. Before the firms officially merged, both Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand had gone through several mergers with other firms on their own. Both firms’ history can be traced back to the 19th century. Coopers & Lybrand adopted their name in 1957, with three firms working under the name: Cooper Brothers (UK), Lybrand, Ross Bros & Montgomery (US), and McDonald, Currie, and Co. (Canada). Cooper Brothers were founded in 1854, while Lybrand, Ross Bros & Montgomery was formed in 1898. After both firms joined their practice, Coopers & Lybrand then merged with Deloitte, Haskins, & Sells in 1990.
