Supporting the Australian technology sector
At PwC, our industry specialists have an unrivalled understanding of what makes businesses like yours succeed. This is an understanding we’ve built up by working alongside the industry’s biggest players to help overcome their top challenges, from strategy through to execution.
We understand that the pace of change in the technology industry, and its diversity, creates both opportunities and challenges for its participants.
We help businesses recognise and take advantage of these opportunities as they strive to create disruptive new business models and bring technology-driven efficiencies to current business structures to drive fast and sustainable growth.
How we can work with you
From fast-growing startups to multinationals, our clients represent the full gamut of the technology sector, across software and IT services,
fintech, big data, social, digital media, cyber and wider business innovation models.
Assurance
We help you to navigate regulatory complexity and strengthen trust and transparency. Our external and internal audit services, backed by the PwC global brand, provide confidence for you, your investors and your customers. We understand the risks and regulatory requirements of different industries – whether you operate in fintech, healthtech, proptech, or agtech (as examples) – and we can advise on the most appropriate controls for managing risk and regulatory compliance. Our CFO advisory service solves the most important problems that finance teams and business functions face. We help our clients meet their objectives and navigate transaction and transformational change whilst building trust in effective decision-making.
Business Align and Connect
Our unique Business Align and Connect program connects fast-growing tech companies with our network of clients and contacts to solve common business problems. The 20+ companies in our program have all been thoroughly vetted by PwC through an exhaustive due diligence exercise. Each Business Align and Connect member provides a best-in-class technology solution for a common business problem – whether it relates to making money, saving money or managing risk. By bringing these innovative startups together with our national and international network, we are future-proofing our client's businesses while supercharging Australia's tech ecosystem.
Commercialisation
We help standout technology startups with game-changing engineered solutions transition their idea to commercial reality. For many emerging technology businesses, their focus is (understandably) the intellectual property they have developed. When we find a company with a best-in-class solution, we offer a long-term engagement to help with all the steps required to commercialise their IP – from business structuring, R&D funding, licencing arrangements, product trials and customer identification. The backing of the PwC brand and our extensive network of commercialisation specialists will help to open doors and identify new opportunities, ensuring the technology can be delivered at scale while maximising the financial return for its originators.
Consulting
People solving together powered by technology. The New Equation is a future where human meets digital. While it sometimes separates us, technology can reach its best and fullest potential when it joins and serves us. For us, people and technology work hand in hand. It's about how human ingenuity combines with technology, innovation and experience to deliver faster, more intelligent and better outcomes while building trust to turn today’s ideas into tomorrow’s solutions and keep you ahead of the curve. Where human meets digital. People and technology working together to create a stronger tomorrow.
Cybersecurity
For many technology businesses, their most important asset is their IP, so it is vital that they have the appropriate controls in place to protect against cyberthreats. We can help you to assess your risk profile in relation to your data assets, implement fit-for-purpose controls to mitigate these risks, then validate their effectiveness against potential threats by malicious operators.Find out more here. PwC's Training Academy offers training in the newly updated ISO standard 27001:2022 (information security management) to ensure that your team has robust security processes and controls in place to meet supplier, customer and regulatory expectations for data protection.

Deals
Whether you are looking to bring in capital for growth, acquire a business for its specific capability or to achieve scale, or divest some or all of the business, we can provide an integrated offering to help you make the best deal possible. Not only is the technology sector very different from traditional industries when it comes to M&A transactions, the various subsectors (for example, software, hardware, managed services, cyber) all have very different revenue models and value metrics. It is our deep understanding of the intricacies of the industry and these subsectors that makes it possible to extract maximum value for our clients. We will work with you to design a clear strategy then draw on our in-house expertise along with our global network of buyers and investors to help you achieve your commercial objectives.
R&D and Government Incentives
We help you to optimise your investment in innovation, whether this is identifying applicable R&D tax incentives to reduce your overall tax burden, or accessing government grants for technology companies developing new and innovative products or services. We can help you identify the R&D activities being undertaken in your business in order to determine the eligibility, size and compliance requirements for an R&D tax offset. Our thorough knowledge of the technology grant ecosystem enables us to align the right project for the right grant program at the right time, providing your business with funding to implement innovative technology solutions.

Our global network of tax and finance specialists means we can provide practical, strategic advice for the entire growth journey – including capital raising, deal support, funding arrangements, tax effective equity incentive schemes and tax compliance across international jurisdictions.
