Caption Contest Thursday: Deloitte’s Shade of Blue Looks Very Familiar

The U.S. numbers are out, $10.7 billion, according to Deloitte’s U.S. website but the global page still only has the fiscal year ’08 numbers. The U.S. numbers are essentially flat from fiscal year ’08 revenue of approximately $11 billion.
We don’t really know what the problem is but we understand that math is hard sometimes so we’ll just wait patiently until the global numbers come out. We all know what happens when SEC registered companies reports late.
Advantage to a private company: We’ll report our revenue WHENEVER THE F*(K WE WANT.
Some interesting data that is presented on the U.S. page so far includes:
• “Staff” dropping 1,490 while “Partners” went up 14 from FY ’08 to FY ’09
• Two offices were either closed or consolidated as the number went from 92 to 90
• Total number of CPA’s went up over 300
So at first glance, it appears that Big D had a similar year to E&Y but withhold judgment until the global numbers come out.
