I'm curious, which companies make up the Big 4? Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft?

Usually "Big Four" refers to the 4 largest accounting firms: Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PWC.[1] If it's referring to tech, that's an odd/confusing usage when "FANG" is so prevalent for the same concept but explicitly for tech.

In my experience, the vast majority of people in tech are completely unaware of the accounting usage. I only know it because my two siblings work for two of them.

Usually some subset of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google

So Big 5, really, but I feel Apple is usually omitted because its primary focus is consumer hardware and the software is usually an ancillary product.
