About the team At PwC, our Finance Business teams are an integral part of the internal Finance function. Finance Business teams are aligned to business units and work closely with the business unit's leadership team to help drive business performance. They provide a platform to support well-informed and high quality financial decision making. Business units will naturally vary in size, but can be as large as 1,000 professional staff who provide services within particular markets, industries, geographies or products. The Finance Business team provide objective financial advice and opinions that positively impact the future choices of the business unit.

They prepare financial plans, targets, budgets and forecasts for the business unit and report on financial and non-financial performance against these.
