PwC Africa’s revenue rose 3.4 percent to US$546 million in the financial year ended June 30, 2026, supported by investment in artificial intelligence and regional operations. More than 7,000 employees completed AI training during the year and about 70 percent gained access to Microsoft 365 Copilot. The firm operates in 13 African countries with about 10,000 professionals.
PwC Africa’s revenue growth of 3.4 percent to US$546 million was reported in the firm’s annual review for the year to June 2026. Reports put the shilling equivalent at about Sh70.5 billion. The growth is modest, but it comes in a year of tighter client budgets and continued investment in the firm’s technology and advisory capabilities.
The firm’s global parent has grown faster in dollar terms. PwC’s global network reported gross revenues of US$60.2 billion for the year to June 2026, up 5.7 percent in dollars and 3.5 percent in local currency. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, revenue rose just 0.7 percent to US$23.9 billion, which suggests Africa’s 3.4 percent growth held up better than the wider region.
Artificial intelligence sits at the centre of the firm’s strategy. PwC says more than 7,000 of its African staff completed AI training during the year, and about 70 percent of its workforce now has access to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Across the network, more than 330,000 people have taken AI training, and PwC says it has invested US$3 billion in capabilities, particularly AI and technology.
The firm’s own research suggests why the push matters for clients. A PwC survey of 1,217 senior executives, including 85 in Africa, found that the top 20 percent of companies capture 74 percent of AI-driven financial returns. For professional services firms, the message is that AI adoption must be paired with advice that turns it into revenue and growth.
PwC Africa’s footprint is broad. The firm operates in 13 African countries, with about 10,000 professionals and more than 31 offices. Its regional structure is organised into East, West and South market areas, and the revenue figures cover the whole network across those markets.
Leadership is also changing. Michal Kotzé has been elected the next Africa Territory Senior Partner and will take office on July 1, 2027. He succeeds Dion Shango, who completes his maximum eight-year term on June 30, 2027. The two-year handover gives the firm time to shape its strategy before the change.
Competition among the large professional services firms is intense. Deloitte reported global revenue of US$74.5 billion for its year to May 2026, while EY reported US$57 billion for the year to June 2026, growing 7 percent in dollars. PwC’s global growth of 5.7 percent in dollars sits between them, which shows how closely the firms track one another.
The next signals will be the firm’s results for the year to June 2027, the progress of its AI rollout and the handover to Kotzé. Clients and staff will be watching whether AI investment lifts growth in the African markets, where demand for cross-border advisory and technology services is rising.
