ACCOUNTING giant PwC has declared plans to hire more than 100 people in Scotland.
The recruitment drive comes as the firm looks to expand its financial services practice, against a backdrop of digital disruption, the move to net-zero, and the recovery from the pandemic.
The addition of 100 people would expand its headcount in Scotland, where PwC has offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, by 10 per cent.

Fraser Wilson, financial services leader for PwC Scotland, said: “Like many industries, the pandemic has forced the financial services sector to accelerate the rate at which it has to change.”
“Technology and the race to net zero have fundamentally altered the way the sector thinks and our role at PwC is to help enable that transformation.
“The demand for this runs right through our business and that’s why we’re recruiting more than 100 new people to work at all levels.
“Scotland’s financial services sector plays a fundamental role in the economy helping to create sustainable business models that embrace technology and improve resilience and agility to ensure a healthy future for the industry.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
