This survey, agreeably, refers mostly to tax advisors, but it is the
best ranking of European accounting firms.

I hope that answered your question. I searched the web for terms such
as ?largest accounting firms? and Europe, or with names of countries.

Please contact me if you need any further clarification on this answer
before you tip/rate it.
