The Big 4 refers to the largest accounting and professional services firms: Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Does anyone have advice on the hours typically worked at CFGI? I'm currently in a senior manager role with the expectation to be TMD in the next two years - however, given staffing issues and the politics of the firm, I'm looking for a switch.

In addition, as a non-audit accounting firm, do former big 4 employees working at CFGI pick back up their investments and are no longer restricted?

I look forward to any input CFGI employees may have. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m a recruiter in search of associate - senior manager level tax professionals across the US that would be interested in working at a big 4 client. If you or someone you know is looking to make a move, I would love to talk with you!

General thought: Being proud of your job and wanting to do well in accounting shouldn't be frowned upon as it commonly is. People in the industry tend to criticize others who seem to "care" or take "too much" pride in their work given the general sentiment about life in B4 but I think as long as that accountability is self motivated ("I want to do good to impress myself") rather than "I really want to impress my boss" it should be encouraged not made fun of

After reflecting long about which B4 service line to pick, I end up thinking "rentier" would be my preferred choice. Someone know how to join it?

Ever notice how employees at different companies respond to referral requests?
MBB - ignore
FAANG- ignore
Boutique- mostly ignore
Big 4 - PICK ME! No I’ll do it! Oh no, I’m happy to help, DM!!!, I’ll Refer you NOW! ~slurp, snarl, hand rub, slime drip~

I just graduated with my BBA in Accounting and I have received two offers from the B4. They’re both in the Audit field, one is for Deloitte, the other is KPMG. The most important factor to me is their work culture and after researching a bit, it goes back and forth between one being more attractive than the other so I genuinely don’t know which to go with.
