PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Fiji has officially joined the Grant Thornton global network, marking a significant milestone in its six-decade history within the country.
This transition integrates the firm into Grant Thornton’s extensive network, which operates in over 140 markets, employs more than 70,000 professionals, and generates annual revenues exceeding $7 billion.
At the launch event, Senior Partner Jerome Kado emphasized the firm’s long-standing impact on Fiji’s economic and infrastructural development, particularly in vital sectors such as tourism, banking, manufacturing, and technology.
Kado described the move as a strategic effort to enhance service delivery and foster stronger partnerships. “This transition enhances our capacity to deliver quality services, leveraging Grant Thornton’s robust frameworks for risk management and quality assurance. It’s a step forward for our clients, our people, and the nation’s development,” he stated.
He also highlighted the firm’s extensive collaboration with the Fijian government over the years, contributing to critical legislation like the Developers’ Profits Exemption, which spurred tourism growth, and the tax-free factory legislation, which created thousands of jobs.
Kado highlighted the firm’s pivotal contributions to shaping frameworks for investment, technology, and infrastructure development, including advancements in fiber optic connectivity and road projects.
He emphasized that the firm’s integration into the Grant Thornton network opens up new opportunities for clients and employees alike. Kado also reassured stakeholders that the transition would not disrupt service delivery, ensuring continuity and excellence throughout the process.
