I am trying to create a table with a list for firms. However, due to the length of the firm names, it becomes a bit too wide. I have set a fixed width to the columns, but I would still like to move the table a bit to the left of the margin.
I am aware that it is not best practice to do so, but as I am already using a very small text size, I would prefer it anyway.
I have tried several of the solutions proposed in similar question, such as adding \hspace*{-4cm} or \hskip-4.0cm, etc. without any luck.
Here is the code I am using:
Any clever ideas?
