About our business 

The broad business perspective you gain in EY’s Assurance practice will serve as a launch pad to your career, whether you stay at EY to partner or seek a role in the C-suite. Our easy-to-use Audit Career Framework will help you map your successful career path, understand just what’s expected of you, and access the right learning, experiences and coaching to support your career progression. Along the way, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the inner workings of business and draw on your accounting knowledge to help solve complex challenges.  

You will spend much of your time meeting with our clients directly at their offices, undertaking audit activities to identify and resolve complex issues. When you start with the organization, you can join our audit practice and choose from a variety of industries (Consumer Products, Life Sciences, Industrial Products, Real Estate, Automotive and Transportation, to name a few). You will be given opportunities to work across these industries, which will provide deep knowledge of key drivers for success and risks specific to the industry. And if you know you have a strong desire to work within our Financial Services Organization, which is tailored to banking, insurance, funds or other financial industry companies, you may elect that path as well. Whichever you choose, you’ll find no shortage of opportunities to take on new challenges and responsibilities while discovering and developing your strengths and ambitions. 

What you will do 

• Identify potential audit issues or unusual relationships in financial statements with detailed analytical trend analysis. 

• Demonstrate professionalism while working in clients’ environments and providing exceptional service. 

• Operate effectively in a regulated environment, with a focus on protecting the capital markets and the investing public. 

• Develop and maintain relationships with our clients to provide definitive auditing services that the capital markets and the client can rely upon. 

• Share the story of value-added insights discovered through data analysis with our clients.
