Big four firm PwC Australia has unveiled its partner intake for the new financial year, including 11 new tax and legal partners.
Kevin Burrowes, chief executive of PwC Australia, said the promotions came amid disruptive and uncertain times, demanding innovation and tech-savviness from the incoming partners.
“Industries as we know them are changing, with global pressures such as inflation and geopolitical tension leading to supply chain disruptions. This presents both a challenge and opportunity for businesses seeking to diversify or capitalise on the value that’s being created as a result,” he said.
“These new partners have demonstrated that they are well equipped to help our clients navigate this change, utilising the latest technological advancements and innovations. They’ve shown they can think outside the box to create exciting solutions for clients, which tap into new value pools or drive productivity gains.”
On Tuesday (1 July), PwC announced that it would be welcoming 29 additions to its partnership, including 11 tax and legal partners. Including the new admissions, the firm has welcomed 34 new partners over the past year.
Most partners were internal promotions, and there were three lateral hires.
PwC’s new tax and legal partners included:
Martina Crowley, PWC Australia’s West Australian managing partner, welcomed Tariq Rasool to the Perth team.
“Tariq, with over 14 years of experience in tax, transfer pricing and regulatory engagement, enables our clients to navigate complex landscapes with confidence,” she said.
PwC also expressed gratitude to 76 partners who left the firm from 1 July 2025. “We thank these partners for their significant contributions to the firm. Your leadership, commitment to excellence and mentoring [have] helped steer the firm towards its next era. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours,” Burrowes said.
