"I am very pleased with our 7% growth in fiscal 2025, demonstrating our unique ability to deliver for our clients as they seek our help to reinvent and lead with AI. As clients continue to embrace reinvention to create value and drive financial results and business outcomes, they need help to build their digital core, prepare data and reimagine processes, all while training their people to work in entirely new ways. This is what Accenture does best and our strong results this year clearly illustrate our impact. I am grateful to the Reinventors of Accenture who bring their unique talents, together with our proprietary tools and leading partnerships, to bear as we deliver value to our clients with certainty and speed."
