Job description

At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

When our clients are facing complex finance and controllership issues, they look to us to set it right. Whether a system conversion has been miscalculated or they simply don't have the knowledge in the right area of accounting, we provide the answers to the big questions nobody else can.

The opportunity

Our Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS) team is growing exponentially, and as a Senior you'll 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 all about listening to and understanding our clients to give them a truly exceptional experience in a field where there really are no off-the-shelf recommendations.

Your Key Responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. That means you'll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You'll also be collaborating with colleagues across multiple service lines, so we'll look to you to build relationships and identify opportunities for our clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Regular travel will be required as you will be meeting with key clients, some of those being the most respected in their fields.

Skills And Attributes For Success

• Consulting with clients on complex accounting issues
• Collaborating with partners, senior managers and clients to influence strategy, balancing risk and client expectations
• Ensuring our Engagement team thoroughly understands our clients' unique needs, ambitions and expectations
• Building relationships with colleagues across multiple service lines to provide seamless integrated service
• Managing performance and identifying opportunities to improve our products and processes

To qualify for the role you must have

• A bachelor’s degree in an accounting, finance or business discipline, and approximately 3 to 5 years of experience as an auditor in a public accounting firm
• Eligibility to obtain US CPA licensure in your work state
• Strong technical writing skills and advanced risk management knowledge
• A deep understanding of the marketplace, as well as commonly used terminology, processes and tools
• A proven record of excellence when 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
• 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

• A master's degree in accounting, finance or business discipline
• External audit experience at a Big 4 accounting firm

What We Look For

We're interested in versatile people with the ability to take on new responsibilities and listen to clients to get things done. We're not just looking for technical accounting experience — we're after genuinely interesting people with the ability to build relationships, negotiate and think in unique and creative news ways. If you're a confident leader with a curious mind and the ability to solve complex issues, this role is for you.
