What Deloitte’s tier placings mean
On “Which Salesforce partners specialize in particular industries?”, Deloitte sits in tier 1 of 2, named in 17 of 25 responses (68.0%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first. It means that at 25 responses, the gap between Deloitte and the most-named firm in that sample is inside the margin of error, so the two cannot be told apart. Deloitte shares tier 1 with Accenture, Slalom and PwC, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary. 8 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate Deloitte from them.
On “What are the best fractional CFO firms?”, Deloitte sits in tier 2 of 3, named in 8 of 25 responses (32.0%). That places it below the leading group on this question, where the top firm was named in 92.0% of responses against Deloitte’s 32.0%.

Where Deloitte does not appear
Deloitte was not named often enough to clear the reporting threshold on 24 of the 14 questions: “What are the best TikTok Shop agencies?”, “Which agencies specialize in TikTok Shop affiliate and creator programs?”, “What are the best agencies for TikTok Shop creator sourcing and management?”, “Who can help me set up and manage a TikTok Shop for my brand?”, “What are the best US-based TikTok Shop agencies?”, “What are the best TikTok Shop agencies for a small brand with a limited budget?”, “Which agencies work with supplement, apparel, food and home goods brands on TikTok Shop?”, “Our TikTok Shop sales stalled after a strong first month.

Who can help?”, “Which Salesforce partners work with small businesses?” and “Which firms provide ongoing Salesforce managed services?”.
An absence here is a fact about visibility, not about capability. It means that when buyers put that question to ChatGPT during the sampling window, Deloitte was not among the firms it reached for — which is worth knowing if that question describes the work you are hiring for, and worth nothing as a judgement of how well the firm does that work.

What this page is, and is not
- It is a count of how often AI assistants named Deloitte when asked buyer questions about fractional CFO and outsourced accounting firms and Salesforce and CRM implementation partners. Nothing here is a review, a rating, or an assessment of the firm’s work.
- Deloitte did not submit this listing, was not contacted about it, and cannot pay to change it, move up, or be removed.
- A firm named in few responses may still be excellent. Share follows what has been published about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads.
- Wrong details, or a firm merged with another of a similar name? We fix those.
