PwC builds Global Partner of the Year success on trust

PwC has been awarded the Global Partner of the Year at KyribaLive 2026, recognizing a year of exceptional growth, delivery excellence, and strategic investment across the Kyriba alliance.
In 2025, PwC strengthened its position as a global force in treasury transformation by combining executive-level strategy with consistent execution. What unlocked that momentum was trust, built through relationship building, transparent collaboration, candid feedback, and sustained results. With that foundation in place, PwC scaled its investment internally, deepened collaboration with customers and Kyriba, and accelerated from implementation partner to strategic partner.
“The biggest unlock for us was trust. Once we had that trust, we invested internally; we had to get leadership buy-in. We invested externally with our clients and with Kyriba. Trust then allowed us to accelerate and then we became a strategic partner.”
— Eric Cohen, Global Treasury Working Capital Leader, PwC
Focus, investment, and execution at global scale
In 2025, PwC made a deliberate decision to focus on the CFO agenda and invest where it could create the greatest value with Kyriba. That meant aligning leadership, committing to enterprise transformation, and scaling Kyriba-certified talent globally to support clients across regions with a true “follow-the-sun” delivery model. That same approach is also reflected in PwC’s work with McKesson Corporation, another KyribaLive 2026 award winner, where the firm helped deliver a complex enterprise liquidity transformation at scale.
Key drivers behind PwC’s success
PwC’s approach goes beyond technical implementation. The team helps clients translate high-level CFO priorities, including ERP transformation, working capital, enterprise liquidity management, and risk, into practical execution with Kyriba at the center. This ability to connect strategy to action has been a defining strength of the alliance.
Global scaling of Kyriba-certified talent to improve speed, expertise, and delivery consistency.
Strong alignment around the CFO agenda and enterprise transformation priorities.
A delivery model centered on transparency, collaboration, and shared accountability.
Expansion of treasury managed services to help clients extend value beyond go-live.
Continued innovation in areas such as AI-enabled treasury, working capital, and hedging support.
Turning strategy into results requires more than a successful deployment, and PwC approaches treasury transformation as enterprise change, with a focus on long-term impact, value realization, and a strong three-party partnership among PwC, Kyriba, and the customer.
“Our clients aren't just looking for a technology implementation. They're looking to take those topics that are CFO agenda items and translate those into strategy and execution. That means taking these agenda items, breaking them down, and putting Kyriba at the heart of that.”
— Kristen Michaud, Principal, PwC
Building the future of treasury together
As customer needs evolved, PwC also expanded its treasury managed services capabilities to help organizations go beyond the initial implementation. Customers needed more support after go-live, especially as lean treasury teams faced increasing complexity across risk, bank connectivity, integrations, and ongoing platform optimization. PwC responded by broadening its services, including application managed services and expanded risk management support, helping customers design, implement, and run more sophisticated treasury and hedging programs.
Looking ahead, PwC sees significant opportunity to continue growing the alliance with Kyriba through AI-enabled treasury, managed services expansion, working capital and supply chain finance, and deeper ecosystem connectivity across enterprise platforms. Kyriba remains the foundation, but not the ceiling, for what the alliance can deliver.
“We made a deliberate decision to grow with Kyriba. We scaled globally, we aligned leadership, we committed to enterprise transformation. We focused on the CFO agenda and we delivered exceptionally well. That focus and our willingness to invest, that's what made the difference.” — Eric Cohen, Global Treasury Working Capital Leader, PwC
PwC’s recognition as Global Partner of the Year reflects the strength of its people, the trust of its clients, and the momentum of a partnership built for the future. Together, PwC and Kyriba are helping organizations transform treasury into a more connected, strategic, and scalable function.
