Big Four Firm Deepens South Florida Roots

PwC Expands Footprint in Palm Beach County Amid Wealth Migration Boom

As Palm Beach County continues to evolve into one of the nation’s top destinations for wealth migration, global accounting and consulting powerhouse PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) is making a significant long-term commitment to the region. The firm recently announced it will triple the size of its Palm Beach Gardens office and has appointed a new local managing partner to lead its operations in the rapidly expanding market.

The expanded office footprint will offer more modern workspace, conference areas, and hybrid-ready facilities designed to support the firm’s growing base of regional clients—including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private equity groups, and entrepreneurial ventures.

PwC’s investment is a response to the demographic transformation reshaping Palm Beach County, where an influx of business leaders, financial firms, and new residents—many of them migrating from New York, Chicago, and California—has increased the need for high-touch advisory services.

“The Palm Beach market has evolved dramatically over the last five years,” said a PwC spokesperson. “We’re seeing more complexity in estate planning, succession strategies, and private capital flows—and we want to be embedded in the community to support that growth.”

The new office will anchor PwC’s presence along the I-95 corridor, providing direct access to clients across Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Wellington. It also represents a broader firmwide trend: decentralizing talent and moving leadership closer to client hubs.

Although the firm has not yet publicly named the new Palm Beach Gardens managing partner, sources indicate the executive has deep roots in the region and a strong track record in assurance and tax advisory services. Their appointment is part of PwC’s long-term plan to invest in Florida as a key region for client acquisition and talent retention.

The firm’s local services span tax, audit, consulting, and deals advisory—catering to middle-market businesses, real estate developers, private equity firms, and affluent individuals navigating intergenerational wealth transfers.

PwC’s expansion is part of a broader trend of professional services firms deepening their roots in South Florida. Withum, another national accounting firm, recently expanded its Boca Raton offices to support hiring and meet growing demand from clients in real estate, healthcare, and consumer goods.

Meanwhile, law firms, boutique consultancies, and specialty tax advisors have all been moving into newly built Class A office space across Palm Beach County, driven by demand from newly relocated entrepreneurs, fund managers, and family office executives.

The move underscores PwC’s confidence not just in the South Florida market, but in Palm Beach specifically—once viewed as a retirement enclave, now a fast-emerging hub of capital, entrepreneurship, and economic influence.
