Can folks from PwC share how exactly your all remote model works? So, an employee opting for remote works with any team across time zones ? Or across states in same time zone? Also, how do you staff on / find a project? Are there people working totally with teams outside their office, as say nobody or few in their own group/ office opted for remote model? Would that be true?

Offer to pay as a goodwill gesture. Partner will pick up the tab.

As a newly retired partner, you asked so you should go to the counter and “insist” on paying. The partner will likely insist on paying and you should be gracious and accept them paying. I think both parties can afford a cup of coffee. If not, both should change firms immediately.
I mean I could expense coffee daily if I wanted. Can you not?
Helllllll no
If you invited, you should offer to pay.
No.
I would offer... then I would expect any partner to decline. And appreciate the willingness to pick up the tab. If they even got to the point of you offering.
As a Partner of a small firm (25 employees), I pay. I pay if we are strolling to the coffee shop together before work. And no, this isn't expensed. This is a thank you to a good team member while I check in on how they're going - personally and professionally. Yes, there is a guy who takes advantage of this - but still I pay. I "expense it" if we're having a work meeting. But, expensing it still takes it out of my disposable income (by reducing the profit of the business) - its just before tax. The partner should pay, but trust me, a thank you is always appreciated!
Oh good grief - it's coffee
The partner should be paying. You can offer if you’d like.
I’ve done this around 5 times in 6 months and they’ve paid for my coffee. Like others have said, they use the corporate card and expense it.
So does this mean that no one here expenses the coffee? lol
Offer to pay always, no matter the person. No matter who It is, I think it’s the safest bet and is never an insulting gesture.
Pay for the coffee and then turn around and expense it (bonus points if you charge it to one of their jobs)
