PwC Africa reported revenue grew 3.4 per cent to US$546 million (KSh70.5 billion) for the financial year ended June 30, 2026 despite challenging economic conditions.

The firm pursued a “client zero” approach by deploying AI internally to support service delivery across assurance, advisory and tax and legal divisions.

More than 7,000 professionals completed AI training during the year and about 70 per cent of the workforce gained access to Microsoft 365 Copilot.

PwC Africa also approved more than ten risk-tiered secured AI tools for enterprise use and embedded AI-enabled capabilities in internal operations and service delivery.

Women accounted for 55 per cent of the workforce and greenhouse-gas emissions fell by 49 per cent.

The firm operates in 13 African countries with over 385 partners, roughly 10,000 professionals and more than 31 offices.

Dion Shango, PwC Africa Territory Senior Partner, said “Across Africa, the way value is being created is changing.”

Michal Kotzé, PwC Africa Clients and Markets Leader, said “Our clients’ most important challenges rarely fit into one area of expertise.”

Kang’e Saiti, Regional CEO, PwC East Market Area (Kenya, Ugnada, Tanzania, Rwanda, Mauritius), said “East Africa’s growth story is increasingly a regional one.”

The annual review announced that Michal Kotzé has been elected the next Africa Territory Senior Partner, effective July 1, 2027, succeeding Shango whose eight-year term ends June 30, 2027.

The election followed PwC Africa’s governance process that involved partner nominations, vetting and a territory-wide partner vote.
