2018 Vault最新会计师事务所榜单！

美国当地时间2017年4月17日，Vault发布了2018美国会计师事务所最佳雇主50强榜单。Vault根据每家会计师事务所当年的声望、薪酬回报以及整体工作满意度等因素每年评出一份50强的榜单。今年一共有8600余名会计师参与了此次排名调查，此次排名发生了一些重大变化。

根据榜单，普华永道（PwC）持续雄霸榜首，四大梯队中的德勤（Deloitte）仍位居第二，但此次缩小了与普华永道间的差距。毕马威（KPMG）升至第四名，致同（ Grant Thornton）降至第五名。另外，位于西雅图的Moss Adams 升至第八名，成功挤进榜单的前十。

以下为榜单前十名会计师事务所：

另外，根据Vault career对今年的榜单还进行了详细说明如下：

Accountants at peer firms told us this year that PwC is “the gold standard,” “the best brand of the Big 4,” and “a great place to start your career—with lots of training.” Meanwhile, PwC insiders raved about the “tremendous support and very helpful advice from senior managers and partners,” “the incredibly helpful coaching system,” “the great company culture that’s built around very smart and motivated people,” “the endless learning opportunities,” the ability to “work with large clients on complex issues and get a ton of responsibility at an early age,” and the “flexible hours and ability to work from home.” 

PwC’s ranking atop the Accounting 50 means it’s still widely considered the best accounting firm to work for. In fact, this was the fifth straight year that PwC took the top spot in the Accounting 50. PwC also again ranked No. 1 in our Prestige Rankings. 

However, Deloitte, the No. 2 firm in the Accounting 50 and the No. 2 firm in our Prestige Rankings, is gaining ground. This year, in the Accounting 50, there was only a 2 percent score differential separating PwC and Deloitte, while last year that gap was 4 percent. And in the Prestige Rankings, there was just a 1.4 percent score differential this year separating the two, versus a 3 percent difference last year. This means that PwC and Deloitte are just about neck and neck when it comes to offering the best place for young accountants to begin their careers. 

This year, accountants at peer firms told us that Deloitte is a “very strong global firm with smart, good people,” and it has “spectacular perks and a spectacular reputation.” Here’s one Deloitte insider talking about the career development opportunities at the firm (Deloitte again ranked No. 1 in the Formal Training category): “Deloitte ensures that its professionals are developed through formal and informal training programs, client opportunities, and leadership roles. Deloitte’s partners are very supportive of any learning and development programs or initiatives. Managers are good about finding the right opportunities for staff and seniors, and they try to give the professionals diverse career experiences to build their knowledge base.” 

Also impressive was KPMG’s rise to No. 4 this year. Last year, KPMG fell one place to No. 5, but this year the firm regained its place among the top four. Helping it rise a spot, KPMG ranked No. 2 in Formal Training, only trailing Deloitte, and KPMG ranked better than all other Big 4 firms in Promotion Policies. Here’s a KPMG insider speaking about the firm’s excellent career development opportunities: “KPMG provides a great foundation for your career. From giving you the opportunity to lead an engagement early on to letting you be hands-on when it comes to complex areas of accounting, KPMG does a great job in developing new hires and employees at all levels. Everyone in my office is super friendly and supportive and willing to help and explain things whenever necessary.” 

In another major move in the rankings, Moss Adams rose three spots to No. 8. Moss Adams put up strong showings in the Benefits category (ranking No. 1 overall) and the Compensation category (No. 3). According to one Moss Adams professional, “The overall compensation package is very generous: free public transportation, free food and drink, great health benefits, 401(k) match, maternity and paternity leave, and the list continues.” 

Even though the Big 4 firms ranked highly in the Formal Training category, the mid-sized firms were the big winners in our other Quality of Life Rankings. Michigan-based Plante Moran ranked No. 1 in 11 categories, including Culture, Overall Satisfaction, Informal Training, Business Outlook, and Firm Leadership. Meanwhile, New York City-based Friedman ranked No. 1 in Hours, Work/Life Balance, and Relationships with Supervisors. And San Francisco-based BPM ranked No. 1 in Overall Diversity, Minority Diversity, and LGBT Diversity.

当然，该榜单是美国会计师事务所从从业求职角度评出的50强榜单。与中国注册会计师协会评选的事务所100强的评选标准完全不同。四大中国成员所与美国成员所的情况可能有所不同。各位想进入四大工作的童鞋需要全面认识四大在世界各个区域在业务发展情况、人才发展战略方面的差异以便在求职中做出相对理性的判断。
