Revenues
Successfully mastering challenging times
In the financial year ending 30 June 2021, PwC Switzerland generated net fee revenue of 773 million Swiss francs (906 Swiss francs gross). In the past year, PwC Switzerland has had to deal with a number of challenges. Nevertheless, we recorded net revenue growth of 2.8% across all our lines of service and industry groupings. We owe this result to our valued customers who have courageously moved forward with us and, of course, to all our employees who have done an outstanding job.
