EY's National Tax Department (NTD) serves high-profile clients by providing a range of business, tax planning and advisory services. Our combination of knowledge and experience forms the basis of our ability to assist clients in meeting their business objectives. The Family Enterprise Business Services (FEBS) practice operates within the NTD, and focuses exclusively on advising private, family-owned business enterprises. Most of our clients are multigenerational enterprising families with businesses ranging in size from $100 million to over $3 billion. These businesses play a significant and increasingly important role in our economy and communities and, in so doing, are critical to EY's efforts to build a better working world. As part of the FEBS team, you will have the chance to help business-owning families identify, define and implement strategies to:

• Grow larger, more valuable businesses
• Secure growth capital for their business while maintaining control
• Successfully transition businesses from older to younger generations
• Obtain liquidity, when needed, for shareholders

The opportunity
As a member of the FEBS practice, you will provide business and financial advisory support to clients on a variety of Business Growth and Company Capitalization engagements. You will employ critical thinking skills to evaluate and analyze company financial information. As you progress, you'll become a trusted business advisor to your clients while helping organizations grow. You will also benefit from being mentored by nationally recognized professionals, including some of the firm's most senior talent. 

Your key responsibilities
You will focus on providing clients with business, financial advisory and analytical support related to their business growth and capitalization plans. This support will include preparing complex financial models and analyzing the output to help evaluate the financial results and funding requirements of various business growth and development paths (including internal or external growth), financial impact of capital investment in new plant or equipment, investment in R&D or innovation, launching new products lines, or operational efficiency or improvement initiatives to help validate or prioritize capital investment opportunities to fund business growth initiatives. You will also assist clients by providing analytical support for mergers and acquisitions, and recapitalization/refinancing transactions. You will help establish and validate key assumptions being considered relative to business growth initiatives, such as performing company, industry, market, customer and competitor research and analysis. 

While supporting business growth or company capitalization plan implementation, you will have the opportunity to work directly with and contribute to the work of the senior team members throughout all phases of growth strategy or company capitalization advice and execution. Activities will also include: drafting memos/reports that include business plans, situation analyses, reports to owners, pitch materials, financing requests and presentations. You will also have the opportunity to assist with analysis of third-party proposals or term sheets related to the purchase or sale of divisions, assets, product lines or financing proposals, and contribute to the development and communication of proposals and advice to current and prospective clients.
