Assistant Manager – National – Assurance – Financial Accounting and Advisory Services (FAAS) – PAN India – Pune.

FAAS assists EY’s advisory clients in solving their complex accounting and financial reporting issues in Indian GAAP, IFRS, US GAAP, or Ind‑AS. FAAS solutions are provided by a senior team – generally, manager and above – with strong financial reporting skills, in-depth sector knowledge, and an advisory mindset.

The challenge of working in the FAAS team is very different from being part of the Audit or Assurance practice or even an industry role, although all of your experience to date will be relevant. Assignments are project‑based and require problem solving. You will work as part of a multi‑disciplinary team alongside EY professionals from the Transaction Support, Advisory, Valuations or Tax team. At manager level and above, you will be responsible for an account portfolio, developing further opportunities to support our clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage / execute FAAS projects, develop and implement solutions.
• Identify and develop business opportunities; manage accounts (depending on level).
• Coach junior team members, encourage technical excellence and learning.
• Integrate with other EY service lines on multi‑disciplinary projects.
• Contribute to thought leadership and participate in marketing activities.
• Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients.
• Ensure accounts comply with the requisite audit standards.
• Provide a robust and clear perspective to audit committees.
• Provide critical information for stakeholders.

Projects Undertaken by FAAS

• GAAP conversions (conversion of financial statements from IGAAP to Ind‑AS; reverse conversion for overseas acquisition).
• Consolidation implementation & accounting manuals (elimination entries, multi‑currency reporting, accounting manual for group with multiple entities/jurisdictions).
• Transaction support and financial reporting (IFRS impact assessment for cross‑border acquisition; EBITDA impact of acquisition; carve‑out and demerger accounting; accounting policy alignment).
• Tax and tax reporting (accounting solutions related to tax planning/structuring; overall assessment of company’s readiness from financial reporting/governance perspective for IPO; project manage production of financial information for IPO).
• IFRS training, ad‑hoc support and on‑call services (accounting support for new business models; tailored training programme for specific company/industry; white‑paper/accounting advice on specific transactions).

Qualifications

• Good academic record (1st/2nd time passes for ICAI or equivalent).
• Strong IGAAP and/or IFRS and/or US GAAP financial reporting experience in complex/large companies.
• Minimum 3‑5 years of relevant post‑qualification experience.
• Ability to explain complex accounting and financial reporting issues simply.
• Advisory mindset, ability to develop solutions for the client with support from technical subject matter experts.
• Business development skills and aptitude; for senior manager and above, a strong track record of business development is expected.
• Specific financial reporting experience in at least one of the following: transactions (acquisitions, carve‑outs, demergers, restructuring); preparation for IPO including listing rules in India/UK/US; complex consolidation structure in an MNC environment including implementation of ERP/consolidation IT system; tax planning and complex structures; developing and delivering technical training; revenue recognition; financial instruments; off‑balance sheet financing; consolidation and SPEs; banking; insurance.
• Strong project management skills.
• Excellent communication skills.

Skills and Attributes

• CA qualification.
• 3‑5 years of relevant experience.
• People with the ability to work in a collaborative manner across multiple client departments while following commercial and legal requirements.
• Practical approach to solving issues and complex problems.
