Microsoft Accenture in Trouble, Accenture’s Debt Skyrockets

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 01, 2026

The tables below summarizes Accenture’s Total Debt and common size over the last five years

At the start of this year we showed that Microsoft Accenture was clearly struggling financially after years of mass layoffs and offshoring.

Perhaps not being an "hey hi company", the ability of Microsoft Accenture to hide debt is lacking/missing.

Seeing a wave of adoption of Free software in Europe, it's not exactly shocking that "consultants" from Microsoft Accenture are no longer in demand. █
