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.

• A bachelor's degree, CPA certification and 3 to 5 years work experience as an auditor in a public accounting firm 
• 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 
• Eligibility to obtain US CPA licensure in your work state
• 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

We're interested in versatile people with the ability to take on new responsibilities and listen to clients to get things done.
