The opportunity

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-touse Assurance 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.

Specifically, within our Technology Risk practice, you will provide clients with a candid and reliable overview of their risk landscape. Our solutions can be used by our clients to build confidence and trust with their customers. You will assist clients in employing proper information systems, resources, and controls to maximize efficiencies and minimize risk. You can expect to work with client personnel and EY professionals to analyze, evaluate, and enhance our client’s information systems facilitating the Company’s business processes.

We focus on a variety of industries including but not limited to:

• Advanced Manufacturing & Mobility, Power & Utilities, Health Sciences & Wellness, Consumer, and Technology, Media & Entertainment, and Telecommunications. Staff will have exposure to clients in a variety of these industries.

• Candidates can elect to join the Financial Services Organization (FSO) and will focus exclusively in financial services; they will have opportunities to serve leading investment banks, retail and commercial banks, insurers and investment managers.
• Whether you choose to join G&I, FSO, or pursue a broader industry focus, you will gain foundational skills for a rewarding career.
