I've been doing some work on the Big 4. So it's Big 4 facts quiz time.
Your first questions are which firm has the most offices in any one country?
And which country is it?

The world’s biggest economy, by far, is still the United States of America FY!.
So it will be whoever has most offices there – I’ll go for EY USA which has around 75 offices.
Not bad
Any others?
Deloitte, USA, 96 offices (says their website).
Don’t believe everything their website says
It says ‘over 80’ for a start http://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/footerlinks/office-locator.html
Ok – so how about PWC in Switzerland…?!
Keep going….
Are we short of good commentary on important issues ?
No you, surely, Mr.Murphy
PWC -not mentioned yet-London?
Not the UK, I can say for certain
am i allowed a second go? A ‘treasure island’. (my name is Stevenson)
Luxembourg, and it’ll be each of the big four.
KPMG UK? (a pure guess)
Google says at 2014: Deloitte, PwC, E&Y and KPMG http://www.big4accountingfirms.org/the-top-accounting-firms-in-the-world/
In USA?
One of them, I agree
But wrong country….
Pwc has 3 offices in london. I suspect many more than 3 in the US
Luxembourg?
sorry misread question, thought it was staff…but even staff cannot be…
Deloitte in Canada….if you count the French speaking offices separately…?
Otherwise, the USA, and I think I counted over 90 (if one can believe their website, which you say we can’t 🙂 ).
Not near I am afraid
Leaving my previous comment aside, what about PWC in China. I haven’t had time to check but given the myriad “opportunities” of the type the big four like to exploit, and the scale of said “opportunities” in a largely unregulated economy with so many major cities I’d think their presence is widespread.
Warm
But not right I am afraid
Last go Hong Kong
Nope
HSBC has 170 in China, so their blurb says
But they are a bank
Ahhh! Are we talking registered offices? So, I’m guessing PwC in Cayman.
No, real offices….
There are so many oligarchs – what about Russia?
Sorry…some way off
I ll have a go ( purely unresearched) :
PWC in Honkers
Warmer
Not right
If China is warm and HK is warmer, it must be something like Singapore or Japan.
I fear not
I’m exhausted after reading all of that.
Could we just have the answer please?
BTW – is it KPMG and is the country Russia? I mean there’s a lot of cash sloshing around there.
