Your point makes sense, but I was thinking that bigger firms like BDO, Grant Thornton, or CBIZ do charge a lot more than smaller ones like CFGI. This might mean their clients are bigger companies that don't mind paying higher rates. At my boutique firm, most of the clients I've worked with—about 90%—are companies that have been operating in a loss position for multiple years.

Big4 and A&M would go 1 and 2. And its switch between the two depending on how much you value $$$$
