"I would rate PwC's attributes to us as great. In this regards I would highlight the following: 1. PwC provide great value to us by being able to assist us in complicated tax matters across jurisdictions. We have a constant need for consultancy on a global basis, and PwC is always able to assist us on short notice and with key local knowledge needed for the relevant jurisdiction. 2. PwC is great at providing practical advice (not only theoretical), i.e. which takes into account how our business carried out, and how the advice can be acted on in implementation etc. Also, I believe PwC is good at viewing the totality in the advice we get, i.e. how tax matters affect the organisation as a whole, and not only certain companies in certain jurisdictions. 3. PwC have a ""risk based"" focus in the advice provided. It is important that a tax adviser can guide and direct us based on where the main risks and exposures are present. I believe PwC fulfills this role.”
