On: The World Excel Championship is being broadcast on...

Large audit firms (Big4) use google sheets and they do some real crazy/awesome stuff.

Why are you poo-pooing on the tech?

Edit: They also use Excel, btw. It’s just the right tool for the right job.

haha, maybe Big 4 does, but, generally speaking, the best employees of Big 4 leave for greener pastures as soon as possible

I've never seen anything remotely impressive from a cpa in public practice in terms of excel usage or high level thinking tbh

That makes sense.

Everyone leaves, they have no partners and it’s all run by college grads?

Just thinking through the premise of: Big4 folks arent capable of high level thinking that’s why they leave for “greener pastures”, implies that the “greener pasture” employees are less competent than the Big4. Otherwise, why would they hire folks from Big4?

My relative works at KPMG and it's fully Excel there.

PwC uses g-suite
