<p>Deloitte is AWESOME.</p>
<p>Arthur Anderson is the best, but they’re kinda in timeout right now… They’ll rise again, but it will be the Big 1.</p>
<p>but what are they lol, like insurance companies, banks, and what makes them big4 material?</p>
<p>moonite, u ever heard of Google?</p>
<p>took the words right out of my mouth dawgie</p>
<p>search taxguy’s threads. There’s a thread he has about everything you wanted to know about accounting, and some posts about the Big 4 in there.</p>
<p>The Big 4 are the four largest accounting firms…PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and KPMG.</p>
<p>The short answer on why they are the Big 4 is that they are the only accounting firms large enough and have the necessary expertise to do audits and sophisticated tax works for large multinational companies.</p>
