Does anyone know why the big 4 mandates use of the corporate card for expenses as opposed to allowing use of personal cc and attaching copies of receipts? TIA

That is usually tracked using a combination of the travel agency vendor and the corporate discount code. Tracking off the Amex data would be hard and wouldn't breakdown room nights, room revenue vs. food and beverage vs taxes. Etc.

@AC1 - You nailed it! Speaking like someone from the Finance Ops side! 🥂

Helps in reporting and Fraud prevention, but Sticking to just AMEX is kickback issue for sure

Centralized procurement helps negotiate better rates. They can easily tell Marriott how many millions they spend there a year and leverage that into better rates

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to build a career within the ESG consulting and strategy space. I am in a career transition phase and have a tax consultancy background from a Big 4 for 5+ years. However, I believe I have gained some skills that are transferable to ace at ESG consulting as well. While I am still in the process of upskilling myself and gaining the required knowledge, could you help me with referring my CV or with some leads?
