concentrates on large accounts

It might be in reference to suppliers, but I think it likely refers to clients. They concentrate on larger, more lucrative accounts (clients/customers). Can you tell from context?

agree Emma Paulay : Yes, that's the meaning, IMO.

This company is only going to use the big names in the business (for services)

Hello,

grands comptes = the big names in the business

I hope this helps.

this company, who target the top end of the market

Much depends upon the context. They may concentrate on high volume accounts within the commercial sector (eg refurbishment of hotels, corporate accounts), or on high networth/affluent individuals (eg wealthy clients with projects in their fine town residences, country homes, châteaux etc). I suspect 'the top end of the market' would be more appropriate, and would cover all bases. If you find this terminology a little tasteless then you could perhaps replace it with something along the lines of 'prestigious accounts' or 'luxury'.

Target could also be replaced by 'specialise in' if the client does not handle any smaller accounts. I'd compare it to the real estate agencies who actively chase big budget clients.
