Overview

At EY, we’re committed to shaping your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and support your career path. Join EY and help build a better working world.

When clients face complex finance and controllership issues, they look to us to get it right. Whether weighing the pros and cons of business transaction structure or tackling various technical accounting and financial reporting projects, we provide the answers to the important questions.

The opportunity

Our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) team is growing, and as an Experienced Staff in our Technical Accounting Advisory Group (TAAG), you will play a key role in that growth. Working across all industries, you’ll develop your career by communicating creative, strategic goals both internally and externally. It’s about listening to and understanding our clients to provide an exceptional experience in a field where there are no off-the-shelf recommendations.

As part of our Technical Accounting Advisory Group, you will help companies manage complex financial and accounting issues related to consolidation and joint ventures, IPOs, business combinations, compensation, revenue recognition, derivatives and hedging, debt vs. equity, SEC reporting, leases, and more. This highly visible role involves working with a broad set of clients across the US firm, interacting directly with FAAS and audit teams and clients. It is a unique opportunity to learn technical accounting at a faster rate and deeper level.

Your key responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. You’ll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You’ll collaborate with colleagues across multiple service lines and build relationships to identify opportunities for clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Occasional travel may be necessary to meet with key clients, some of whom are highly regarded in their fields.

Skills and attributes for success

• Consulting with clients on complex and technical accounting issues
• Collaborating with partners, senior managers, and clients to influence strategy, balancing risk and client expectations
• Ensuring engagement teams thoroughly understand clients’ unique needs, ambitions, and expectations
• Building relationships across multiple service lines to provide seamless, integrated service
• Managing performance and identifying opportunities to improve products and processes

To qualify for the role you must have

• A bachelor’s degree, CPA certification or parts passed and 1 to 3 years’ work experience, preferably as an auditor in a public accounting firm
• Strong technical writing and presentation skills
• Strong project management and time management skills
• A thorough understanding of US GAAP
• The ability and willingness to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary
• Access to reliable transportation to/from the EY office and client sites. A driver’s license is strongly recommended as ride share and public transportation options may not be available in all locations

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Exposure to or interest in complex technical accounting topics
• An understanding of marketplace terminology, processes, and tools
• A proven record of excellence in managing, mentoring, and improving a team of high-performing colleagues
• The confidence to research and resolve emerging client issues, including regulations, industry practices, and new technologies

What we look for

We’re seeking versatile people who can take on new responsibilities and listen to clients to get things done. While technical accounting experience is a plus, we value strong performers who can build relationships, negotiate, and think creatively. If you’re a confident leader with a curious mind and the ability to solve complex issues, this role is for you.
