KPMG Corporate Finance
Pros: Interesting mix of corporate financiers from investment banks, plus home grown accountants turned corporate financiers.  Good at process, relatively gentle culture compared with investment banks.  Well paid compared with smaller accountancy firms or smaller corporate finance houses.
Cons: Struggled to build the must have quality of the big investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, or to get big ticket deals.  Sarbanes-Oxley also made cross selling of corporate finance services alongside accountancy difficult.
