Careers in Assurance: making sure vital business information is accurate and reliable

As the global financial crisis confirmed, there is clear connectivity between the world’s economies.

So when you think about it, makes for a seriously stimulating environment. One where you can gain the skills and build the networks that you’ll use throughout your entire career.

It means exposure to a vast array of clients and industries. You’ll see first-hand what makes a business successful; what works and what doesn’t. This insight will turn you into a business professional with the ear of many clients, an eye for success, and the knowledge of how to achieve it.

Where will you specialise?

Once we’ve helped you develop your assurance skills, it’s time to focus on what you enjoy most. What will you choose?

Career in Transactions: helping clients buy, sell and merge with other organisations

At a time when the global business environment holds increasingly complex strategic challenges, we know that how organisations manage their capital today affects how competitive they'll be in the future.

We work with the world's largest organisations, fastest-growing companies, and private equity firms on some of the biggest and most complex cross-border engagements in the global market.

For you, that equals exposure to all aspects of the transactions and a variety of experiences. You're not going to get stuck in one place at Ernst & Young. Large and small; local and global, you'll find yourself advising and constructing complex and critical business transactions across the full spectrum of different sizes of businesses. And in our collaborative environment, that means being able to work with, and learn from the best in the art of making a deal happen.

Where will you focus?
As you develop your career in Transactions, you'll be able to build technical depth and explore a breadth of business issues. To help you decide where to specialise, your first few years will be spent in at least three different areas of the business.

Your options will include:

M&A Advisory

Today, more than ever, organisations must plan carefully for growth and analyse their capital agenda and related transactions in the context of their overall business strategy. As part of our M&A team you'll help identify the right transaction and capital strategy for clients.

Careers in Tax: help your clients navigate the complexities of international tax

Businesses today are subject to ever-growing and increasingly complex tax and regulatory change. Helping businesses navigate these challenges requires advisors with a deep understanding of relevant legislation, outstanding communication skills and the ability to manage client relationships effectively.

For you that means a chance to devise solutions. Whether you're pulling apart tricky technical issues or understanding legal implications, Tax will give you a real buzz if you love an intellectual challenge. From the diverse portfolio to the changing work environments, you'll find your perspective of the world of business grows. Add to that your collaboration with the most talented tax brains in the organisation, and you can see why your career will be accelerated.
