Who is… Pricewaterhouse Coopers?

In 1998 Australian accounting firms Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand merged, uniting two long established and successful businesses. The evolution of Cooper & Lybrand can be traced back to 1866, when Andrew Lyell opened an accountancy practice in Melbourne with partner John Gowan. The history of Price Waterhouse can be traced back to 1874 when Joseph Flack, a former Price, Holyland & Waterhouse employee, arrived in Australia and started taking on occasional work for his old firm.

Today, worldwide Pricewaterhouse Coppers employs approximately 146,000 people in 150 countries. They have 22 industry-specialised practices. In Australia, Pricewaterhouse Coopers employs more than 5,000 people in nine cities.
