"the big four accounting firms often do pro bono work because it can be a tax write-off" doesn't sound much like "being paid for work, then giving it back as a tax-deductible charitable donation".
In talking to him, I think he may have just known they do pro bono work and assumed it was because of taxes. Given Vaniver's comment, this seems pretty likely to me. He did say that the request usually has to originate from inside the company, which is consistent with that comment.
Ah. That would make more sense.
