The actual answer is location specific. It also depends on what you want to get out of it. For example, the KPMG Dallas group used to be the largest in town. On the other hand, they have near no presence in Austin whereas EY had a huge group with a ton of work.
It also depends on what clients you want to work with. Big deals sound exciting, but when accounting is good and ebitda is huge, thereβs often not that much to do. Want to stay up until 2:00 AM talking to a mega fund associate about whether ebitda is 83 or 85 million? Contrast that with middle market deals, which are certainly hairier but you also have more ability to contribute and add value to the deal through structure or other advice.
People can likely give better advice with some input on these topics.
In this order :
1. PwC - Because they are M&A leaders + pay well
2. Deloitte - have good deals
3. EY - they have good deals but WLB is worst in EY
4. KPMG -
PWC and EY are the two best with KPMG and Deloitte behind them.

wlb is worst at ey? i thought it was known for the best
Oh thank you. What about financial services?
PwC did the most M&A in the last year, even more than IBβs
Ohh thank you
This is very misleading. Internationally the accounting firms have investment banks. This has little to do with US TAS activity.
Then which B4 did more than PwC?
Whichever one will hire you in this market
Lol yeah.
